Hyperuniform states of matter
S Torquato - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
Hyperuniform states of matter are correlated systems that are characterized by an
anomalous suppression of long-wavelength (ie, large-length-scale) density fluctuations …

On the expressive power of geometric graph neural networks
The expressive power of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) has been studied extensively
through the Weisfeiler-Leman (WL) graph isomorphism test. However, standard GNNs and …

Fractal photonic topological insulators
Topological insulators constitute a newly characterized state of matter that contains scatter-
free edge states surrounding an insulating bulk. Conventional wisdom regards the insulating …

Three-dimensional atomic packing in amorphous solids with liquid-like structure
Liquids and solids are two fundamental states of matter. However, our understanding of their
three-dimensional atomic structure is mostly based on physical models. Here we use atomic …

Dirac electrons in a dodecagonal graphene quasicrystal
Quantum states of quasiparticles in solids are dictated by symmetry. We have experimentally
demonstrated quantum states of Dirac electrons in a two-dimensional quasicrystal without …

Metallic phase with long-range orientational order and no translational symmetry
D Shechtman, I Blech, D Gratias, JW Cahn - Physical review letters, 1984 - APS
We have observed a metallic solid (Al-14-at.%-Mn) with long-range orientational order, but
with icosahedral point group symmetry, which is inconsistent with lattice translations. Its …

Diffusion in disordered media
S Havlin, D Ben-Avraham - Advances in physics, 1987 - Taylor & Francis
Diffusion in disordered systems does not follow the classical laws which describe transport
in ordered crystalline media, and this leads to many anomalous physical properties. Since …
