Chern-Simons theory is a topological quantum field theory set in three dimensions that has profoundly influenced our understanding of gauge theories and topology. Its formulation, which emphasises ...

Researchers have new insight about the formation of vortices in a type of quantum fluid, work that could help our comprehension of the physics mystery of how vortex clusters form and provide valuable ...

NASCAR's Cup Series Playoff Opener on Sunday at Atlanta was disrupted by the sixth caution flag of the race, caused by a dislodged Walmart sign falling onto the track. This incident led to an ...

Center vortices are fundamental topological configurations in Yang–Mills theory believed to encapsulate key aspects of the non‐perturbative QCD vacuum. In this framework, vortices appear as closed, ...

Princeton physicists have discovered an abrupt change in quantum behavior while experimenting with a three-atom-thin insulator that can be easily switched into a superconductor. The research promises ...
