Scientists find loophole that lets black holes split apart
When two black holes collide, they can merge into one enormous black hole. But what if one black…
Floquet modes in quasi-periodic temporal photonic crystals based on the Kolakoski sequence
We consider four 1D Kolakoski-type temporal PCs, denoted as Type-I \((\textrm{K}(1,2))\), Type-II \((\overline{\textrm{K}(1,2)})\), Type-III \((\textrm{K}(2,2))\), and Type-IV \((\overline{\textrm{K}(2,2)})\),…
