New Framework for Characterizing Weakly Chaotic Dynamics in Complex Systems

One popular example of chaotic behavior is the butterfly effect – a butterfly may flap its wings in somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean and cause a tornado in Colorado. This remarkable fable illustrates how the extreme sensitivity of the dynamics of chaotic systems can yield dramatically different results despite slight differences in initial conditions.

Study Shows How Platinum “Single-Atom” Catalysts May Oxidize Carbon Monoxide

When a cat climbs upon a sunflower, what happens? The sunflower is unsteady and will bend fast, causing the cat to tumble to the ground. The sunflower, on the other hand, can operate as a “metastable intermediary step” if the cat just needs a brief boost to grab a bird from there. This is the process by which individual catalyst atoms absorb molecules to chemically alter them.

Making a ‘sandwich’ Out of Magnets and Topological Insulators, Potential for Lossless Electronics

A Monash University-led research team has discovered that a structure comprising an ultra-thin topological insulator sandwiched between two 2D ferromagnetic insulators becomes a large-bandgap quantum anomalous Hall insulator.
