Topology originated from the classification of geometric structures in mathematics, and have prevailed in a variety of branches of physics, ranging from the early electronic topological insulator to ...

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light have managed for the first time to create a unidirectional device that significantly increases the quality of a special class of ...

A project at Finland's Tampere University has secured €4.4 million in funding to further its research into optical vortices. The High-Power Optical Vortices (HiPOVor) project will train 15 doctoral ...

Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic vortex-ring-like light patterns. These structured light vortices, known as skyrmions, are highly stable and ...
