Topological water currents could exist in Earth’s oceans, according to physicists in the France and the US. The team has made a connection between the physics that gives topological insulators their ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.
