Changes between two phases, known as phase transitions, are marked by abrupt changes in material properties such as density. In recent decades a wide body of physics research has been devoted to discovering new unconventional phases of matter, which typically emerge at ultra-low temperatures or in specially-structured materials. Exotic &#8220;topological&#8221; phases exhibit properties that can only change in a quantized (stepwise) manner, making them intrinsically robust against impurities and defects.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-02-stable-topology-instabilities.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Seeing stable topology using instabilities<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are most familiar with the four conventional phases of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
