Quantum geometry gives rise to many fascinating phenomena in solids that go beyond Landau theory. A general framework is now introduced to measure the quantum geometric tensor in solids — a ...

A quartet of mathematicians from Yorkshire University, the University of Cambridge, the University of Waterloo and the University of Arkansas has discovered a 2D geometric shape that does not repeat ...

Each week, Mansion Global tackles a topic with an elite group of designers from around the world who work on luxury properties. This week we look at how to use geometric shapes in your home’s decor.

The usual approach to studying a solid in physics is to consider all the interactions acting between its atoms or molecules and then use the laws of quantum mechanics to determine the solid’s ...

Two RIKEN physicists have established new theoretical limits for experimentally measurable quantities by viewing solids through a lens of quantum geometry. Their results shed light both on the physics ...

The work of the Greek polymath Plato has kept millions of people busy for millennia. A few among them have been mathematicians who have obsessed about Platonic solids, a class of geometric forms that ...

Unidirectional nonreciprocal transport is at the heart of many fundamental problems and applications in both science and technology. Here we study the novel design of wave diode devices by engineering ...

Figure 1: Quantum objects such as electrons, protons and neutrons are notoriously difficult to pin down due to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Now, two RIKEN researchers have derived analogous ...
