In a paper recently published in Physical Review Letters, Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers offer a new theory that predicts defect density across a variety of phase transitions. The research ...

Topological insulators, either the first-order or the higher-order, experience generally a transition to a trivial phase or a topological one of the same order through the gap closing and reopening ...

The synchronization of complex networks is a fundamental phenomenon with significant implications across physics, biology, and neuroscience. While pairwise interactions have been extensively studied, ...
