Physicists identify key mechanism behind chiral charge density wave in TiSe₂

Illustration of cost density wave (CDW) and periodic lattice distortion (PLD) and their symmetries in 1T-TiSe2. The symmetry of the system as an entire can’t be greater than the intersection of the 2 symmetries. Because of this, the system turns into chiral, though neither CDW nor PLD is chiral by itself.

Storm in a laser beam: Physicists create ‘light hurricanes’ that could transport huge amounts of data

Much of modern life depends on the coding of information onto means of delivering it. A common method is to encode data in laser light and send it through optic cables. The increasing demand for more information capacity demands that we constantly find better ways of encoding it. Researchers at Aalto University’s Department of Applied … Read more
