Nanoparticles can switch back and forth between phases

Researchers observe chemically reversible isomerization of inorganic clusters.

Physicists uncover the topological origin of surface electromagnetic waves

Scientists have shown that the well-known surface electromagnetic waves at interfaces between homogeneous isotropic media, obtained within classical Maxwell?s electromagnetism, also have a purely topological origin, similar to quantum topological states.
