#Topological

New work suggests that building nontrivial topologies around optical vortices could be a better strategy than engineering delicate polarisation patterns across an entire beam

By replacing the most fundamental concept in topology, Peter Scholze and Dustin Clausen are taking the first step in a far bigger program to understand why numbers behave the way they do.

Topological phases are unusual states of matter that give rise to properties protected by a material's overall structure (i.e., "topology"), as opposed to microscopic details.…

Over the past few decades, some physicists worldwide have been investigating unusual particle-like magnetic structures known as topological solitons.…

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a suitable **3D point cloud dataset** — or a **CAD/mesh dataset from which I can sample point clouds** — for a small research/report project.…
