Discovering a New Topological Material: the 3D Chern Insulator
NTU researchers have realized a long-elusive phase of matter, the 3D Chern insulator, using a photonic metamaterial. We discuss this breakthrough with SPMS PhD student Liu Guigeng.
Finding the Keys to the Kingdom: Researchers Devise an Attack on the AES Algorithm
The Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, is one of the most widely-used encryption algorithms in the world. An international team, led by researchers from NTU, has found an attack on a reduced-strength variant of AES, in an important milestone for our understanding of this critically important algorithm.
SPMS PhD Student Johan Chrisnata Wins ISITA 2020 Best Student Paper Award
Our warmest congratulations to SPMS PhD student, Johan Chrisnata for winning the ISITA 2020 Best Student Paper Award, which discusses about the sequence reconstruction problem.
Physicists Create a Four Dimensional Synthetic Material
As we all know, space is three dimensional. Many aspects of physics, including the fundamental properties of matter, depend strongly on the dimensionality of space. For instance, 2D materials like graphene, in which the atoms are confined to a two dimensional plane, have properties very different from standard 3D materials. Now, researchers have created a synthetic material that behaves as though it has four dimensions (4D), higher than the number of dimensions in the space around us.
