Researchers at Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the University of Regensburg have developed a method for determining, ...

Electrons moving across the surface of a topological insulator do more than carry electric charge. Their quantum states also ...

University of Bristol physics professor Sir Michael Berry visited the University of Wisconsin on Monday to for a seminar on geometric phase. The seminar was part of the Chemistry Department’s Willard ...

A Princeton scientist with an interdisciplinary bent has taken two well-known problems in mathematics and reformulated them as a physics question, offering new tools to solve challenges relevant to a ...

Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible field, but from the hidden geometry of space itself. Instead of treating extra ...

Deep neural networks (DNNs), the machine learning algorithms underpinning the functioning of large language models (LLMs) and other artificial intelligence (AI) models, learn to make accurate ...

Three papers connect the superconducting transition temperature of a graphene-based material to the geometry of its electronic wave functions. Figure 1: Electrons moving through the sheets of twisted ...

Complex question Could the geometry of chaos play a role in quantum physics and even be a fundamental property of the universe? (Courtesy: iStock/gremlin) Tim Palmer’s provocative proposal is that the ...
