Diffusion of waves is a natural result in propagation, like sound, water, and light, while the localization of waves is an unconventional phenomenon in periodic media. It has been an important ...

With a new mathematical model, a team of biophysicists has revealed fresh insights into how biological tissues are shaped by the active motion of structural imperfections known as "topological defects ...

FIG.1. (a) Schematic representation of the third generation of the Sierpinski gasket waveguide arrays with r=0.3a, 0.5a, 0.6a. Blue and orange sectors of these arrays represent the first and ...

For the first time, physicists have observed novel quantum effects in a topological insulator at room temperature. This finding opens up a new range of possibilities for the development of efficient ...
