Oblique propagation of light through a planar layer of a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) is solved by Ambartsumian’s modified layer addition method. Two cases are considered, namely, the case when dielectric boundaries have a minimum influence on light transmission and the case when the CLC layer is in a vacuum. It i…

Methane, as a greenhouse gas, is detrimental to the environment. With the increasing number of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills, human-related methane emission levels have kept rising in the last five decades. Meanwhile, methane is the primary component of natural gas, which can be utilized as an alternative fuel…

Pathways connecting dissimilar crystal structures are fundamental to our understanding of structural phase transitions. In this Letter, we report on a new pathway connecting the hexagonal close-packed crystal structure to a hierarchy of topologically close-packed phases consisting of kagome and triangular nets. Common…

The rapid development of electronic textiles imposes a challenge on the power supply devices that, unlike conventional rigid batteries, ideally should be compatible with the mechanical properties. It would be highly advantageous if the power supply is integrated within the same textile as the system it is powering. Th…

A microscopic calculation and symmetry argument reveal superconductivity in the vicinity of parity-violating magnetic order. In a crystal structure lacking local space inversion symmetry, an augmented cluster magnetic multipole order may break global inversion symmetry, and therefore it is classified into an odd-parit…
