    One-dimensional surface hinge states characteristic of HOTIs; researchers have shown how to detect HOTIs without observing such hinge states.
    Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) have a unique surface signature that determines how they reflect light—and it can be used to experimentally confirm the existence of...

    Optical spectra evolution of breathing solitons at the modulated subharmonic state; the snaking of the peaks shows the modulation frequency.
    A breathing soliton laser helps researchers discover modulated subharmonics, a new state of nonlinear systems, which contains both synchronized and desynchronized signals.
