Materials properties which stay the same under topological transformations property are known as topological materials. The concept of topological materials has its roots in the 1970s when (physicists ...

With the new knowledge that the transformation is triggered by topological defects, we can design new experiments to pin down these defects and control the resistive switching process, with the ...

When introduced into a nematic liquid crystal, these particles induce three-dimensional director fields and topological defects dictated by colloidal topology. While electric fields, photothermal ...
