The second paper, "Fermion Chirality from Non-Bipartite Topology," applies this same lattice geometry to the quantum world.

The knots in your shoelaces are familiar, but can you imagine knots made from light, water, or from the structured fluids that make LCD screens shine? Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

(Nanowerk News) Physicists in Konstanz (Germany) have discovered a way to imprint a previously unseen geometrical form of chirality onto electrons. The electrons are shaped into chiral coils of mass ...

The study of chiral nuclear physics explores the phenomenon of handedness that arises from the interplay between triaxial deformation and the angular momentum of valence nucleons. In such systems, the ...

The knots in your shoelaces are familiar, but can you imagine knots made from light, water, or from the structured fluids that make LCD screens shine? They exist, and in a new Nature Physics study, ...

Researchers formed stable vortex knots in chiral nematic liquid crystals and used electric pulses to reversibly fuse and split them into different knotted forms. (Nanowerk News) The knots in your ...
