Scientists used Cosmic Microwave Background data to challenge our understanding of the universe's shape. Here's what they ...

Properties that remain unchanged when materials are stretched or bent, which are broadly referred to as topological ...

Topological photonics promises robust light transport immune to disorder, but existing linear systems are essentially static ...

The topology of an integral membrane protein describes the number and approximate locations in the sequence of the transmembrane segments, as well as the overall orientation of the protein in a ...

If you’re looking to pick a fight, simply ask your friends, “Is Pluto a planet?” Or “Is a hotdog a sandwich?” Or “How many holes does a straw have?” The first two questions will have them arguing yay ...

As topologists seek to classify shapes, the effort hinges on how to define a manifold and what it means for two of them to be equivalent. Sorting a collection of shapes is child’s play. Circles here, ...

A topologist is a person who cannot tell the difference between a coffee mug and a donut—so goes a joke about a little-known scientific field crowned Tuesday with a Nobel Physics Prize. The quip ...

An SCR topology transmogrifies into BJT two-wire precision current source with a self-resetting fault-current limiter.
