Topological quantum systems are physical systems exhibiting properties that depend on the overall connectivity of their ...

Structure of solids and liquids is the study of the physical properties of matter in which there is a non-negligible interaction between the constituent atoms or molecules.

What if particles don't slow down in a crowd, but move faster? Physicists from Leiden worked together and discovered a new state of matter, where particles pass on energy through collisions and create ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs.
