Storage and retrieval of optical skyrmions with topological characteristics
Jinwen Wang, Xin Yang, Yun Chen +10
Optical skyrmions are topological structures of light whose defining property, the skyrmion number, is robust against perturbations. This makes them attractive for applications in…

Chiral Analogues of Knit Stitches Designed Using Chiral Topology
Shunsuke Takano, Yusuke Kochi, Ken'ichi Yoshida +4
Fabrics are flexible thin structures made of entangled yarn or fibers, yet the topological bases of their mechanics remain poorly understood. For weft knitted fabrics, we describe…
