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 ...

Researchers from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, in collaboration with Huzhou University, discovered ...

University of British Columbia (UBC) scientists have demonstrated a reversible way to switch the topological state of a quantum material using mechanisms compatible with modern electronic devices.

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 study led by Professor Ginestra Bianconi from Queen Mary University of London, in collaboration with international ...

Topology is a branch of mathematics that describes mathematical spaces, in particular the properties that stem from a space’s shape. Many of the shapes topologists deal with are incredibly strange, so ...

This past October, dozens of mathematicians gathered in Pasadena to create the third version of “Kirby’s list” — a compendium of the most important unsolved problems in topology, the study of ...

Charles Kane never thought he would be cavorting with topologists. “I don't think like a mathematician,” admits Kane, a theoretical physicist who has tended to focus on tangible problems about solid ...

A research team has outlined an optimized array topology for agrivoltaic projects built with bifacial modules. According to its findings, the benefits of bifacial PV arrays are most prominent in stilt ...
