~ Quantum physics out of the Hat:
Graphene shadows, zero-modes and topology ~
Adolfo Grushin treated his audience to a presentation of a paper placed online a few hours previously. He and his three fellow co-authors clearly wanted their ownership of the ground breaking research established before talking about it. As physicists, they are focused on the electrical and vibrational properties of a hypothetical quasicrystal with the Hat structure. Excitingly, it has a spectral function with remarkable similarities to graphene, which could explain their caution in establishing copyright; first isolated at The University of Manchester, graphene is a revolutionary 2D material with enormous commercial possibilities. Their paper is on the arXiv website, and a recording of Adolfo's talk is also online.
