A team at UNIGE has uncovered a geometric structure once thought to be purely theoretical at the core of quantum materials, opening the door to major advances in future electronics. How can ...
In physics and materials science, the term "spin chirality" refers to an asymmetry in the arrangement of spins (i.e., the ...
A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden ...
In our mind’s eye, the universe seems to go on forever. But using geometry we can explore a variety of three-dimensional shapes that offer alternatives to “ordinary” infinite space. When you gaze out ...
In collaboration with scientists in Germany, EPFL researchers have demonstrated that the spiral geometry of tiny, twisted ...
Can you imagine the imprint a four-dimensional hexagon might leave as it passes through your three-dimensional kitchen table? Probably not, but some people can. One such person was mathematician ...
Symplectic geometry is a relatively new field with implications for much of modern mathematics. Here’s what it’s all about. In the early 1800s, William Rowan Hamilton discovered a new kind of ...
