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. These phases are of ...

Life doesn’t pause for a DSA challenge, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise. I got through fewer problems than planned — but I got through them properly, and I’m stopping here rather than grinding ...
