Topological defects are quasiparticles whose topological nature provides some stability against perturbations. Skyrmions, domain walls, dislocations in crystals, vortices in superconductors and ...

In the vast universe, galaxies rotate in ways that don’t make sense if only visible matter is considered. For almost a ...

Instead of invisible matter, Lieu believes the extra gravity may be coming from structures in space known as topological defects. Topological defects are regions in the universe where the ...

Majorana qubits could be error resistant. But after a contentious talk at the Global Physics Summit, scientists aren’t convinced Microsoft has them.

But a MZM exists in a vortex, a tornado-like swirl of electrons in the topological defects of a superconducting material. Research to date has insisted that such vortices can only be generated by ...

Topological insulators (TIs ... mass varied along the surface according to the influence from magnetic defects. "Sample surfaces are hardly perfect and have numerous defects.

The quantum origin of topological defects and their interaction with quanta is a crucial issue for the understanding of symmetry breaking phase transitions and structure formation in a wide range of ...

This speed boost is obtained leveraging an efficient cluster generation based on bubbles centered on defects, and avoiding the computational overhead associated with cluster growth and merging phases, ...
