In the early 1960s George Gamow wrote a popular book 1 that contained a very suggestive observation about the effectiveness of pure mathematics in physics. As a conclusion he remarked that “only ...

A phenomenon known from quantum systems could now make its way into biology: Researchers show that the notion of topological protection can also apply to biochemical networks. The model which the ...

Losing particles can lead to positive, robust effects. An international collaboration has demonstrated a novel topology arising from losses in hybrid light-matter particles, introducing a new avenue ...

Epithelial cell carcinogenesis and abnormal proliferation induce cell crowding by physical compression, causing tumor cell deformation and changes in surface topology. The increased membrane curvature ...
