'Metal'-like transport in high-resistance, high aspect ratio two-dimensional electron gases
We investigate the striking absence of strong localisation observed in mesoscopic two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) (Baenninger et al 2008 Phys. Rev. Lett. 100 1016805, Backes et al 2015 Phys. Rev. B 92 235427) even when their resistivity $\rho >> h/e^2$. In particular, we try to understand whether this phenomenon...

Successive spatial symmetry breaking under high pressure in the spin-orbit-coupled metal Cd2Re2O7
The 5d-transition metal pyrochlore oxide Cd2Re2O7, which was recently suggested to be a prototype of the spin-orbit-coupled metal [Phys. Rev.

Topological Phase Transition Under Pressure in the Topological Nodal Line Superconductor PbTaSe$_2$
A first-order-like resistivity hysteresis is induced by a subtle structural transition under hydrostatic pressure in the topological nodal-line superconductor PbTaSe$_2$. This structure transition is quickly suppressed to zero at pressure $\sim$0.25 GPa. As a result, superconductivity shows a marked suppression, accomp...

Resisting collapse: How matter inside a black hole can withstand gravity
How can a Schwarzschild-sized matter system avoid a fate of gravitational collapse? To address this question, we critically reexamine the arguments that led to the "Buchdahl bound", which implies that the minimal size of a stable, compact object must be larger than nine eighths of its own Schwarzschild radius.
