Topological and chiral matter—Physics and applications.

The article in the journal "Applied Physics Letters" discusses the emerging field of topological and chiral matter, which encompasses various disciplines such as condensed matter physics, materials science, and engineering. It explores the properties and potential applications of topological insulators, Dirac and Weyl semimetals, and chiral nanostructures. The document highlights theoretical and computational contributions, indicating that experimental research in this area is still in its early stages. The Special Topic issue aims to deepen the understanding of these materials and guide the search for new ones, offering valuable insights for graduate students and researchers in academia.
