\nThe Nobel Prize in Physics for the year 2016 was jointly awarded to David J. Thouless, F. Duncan M. Haldane, and J. Michael Kosterlitz.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe prize was awarded for their theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter, which have opened the door to an unknown world where matter can assume strange states.
\n<\/section>\n
\nTheir work used advanced mathematical methods to study unusual phases, or states, of matter, such as superconductors, superfluids, or thin magnetic films. The discoveries have implications for the design of new materials with novel properties.
