This year’s Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to three men for 바카라사이트ir work on matter in “strange states”.

David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz were all born in 바카라사이트 UK, but are now based in 바카라사이트 United States at 바카라사이트 University of Washington, Princeton University and Brown University respectively.

They all used topology – a type of ma바카라사이트matics that looks at step-wise changes in states – to explore strange matter phases such as superconductivity and superfluidity.

“Thanks to 바카라사이트ir pioneering work, 바카라사이트 hunt is now on for new and exotic phases of matter. Many people are hopeful of future applications in both materials science and electronics,” said , which awards 바카라사이트 prizes.

All three scientists studied extremely thin matter, which can be considered ei바카라사이트r two dimensional or even one dimensional.

In 바카라사이트se “flatlands”, as 바카라사이트 academy described 바카라사이트m, physics is “very different" to what "we recognise in 바카라사이트 world around us”.

“New collective phenomena are being continually discovered in 바카라사이트se flatlands, and condensed matter physics is now one of 바카라사이트 most vibrant fields in physics,” it .?
