Topological order and thermal equilibrium in polariton condensates
In a two-dimensional fluid, disorder-causing mechanisms are exceptionally strong and so an absolute order cannot be achieved. Nevertheless, there is an enormous difference between systems of lesser and of greater order (for example between an ordinary fluid such as...

Fixing the positions of individual molecules on the surface of a single layer of silicon atoms
A new way to control the positioning of individual molecules on the surface of materials that are only a single layer of atoms thick has been discovered by a team of scientists from the LCN at UCL in the UK; the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology...
