    Physics Seminar: Topology of the kagome and the honeycomb lattice in various physical systems

    For instance, the (first) Chern number characterizes the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) phase associated to the Haldane model. With “two copies” of the Haldane model, we can restore time-reversal symmetry; the system is then characterized by a Z2 topological invariant. In this talk, we explore different topological phases, associated to non zero Chern number or…

    New research on how race and gender shape science

    Researchers from the University of Luxembourg together with scientists from the University of Montreal, Georgia Tech and Berry College have recently demonstrated that racial and gender identities shape the way science is produced, with Black and Latinx authors being underrepresented in terms of participation and citation counts, affecting scientific advancement. Their findings have been recently published…
