The Nobel Prize in Physics 2016, was awarded on the work of Topological Phase Transitions and Topological Phases of Matter. The winners (J. Michael Kosterlitz, Duncan Haldane, David J. Thouless) opened the door to a hitherto unknown world where matter assumes strange states. They used the concept of topology to study unusual phases of matter.

The speaker, Dr Kashif Sabeeh, is Professor in the Department of Physics at Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. He is a Pakistani authority on condensed matter physics. The video was recorded by Khwarizmi Science Society's team comprising Ahmed Waqas Zubairi, Ibrahim Zauq and Haseeb Arshad. The purpose of the video is to explain the physics behind the Nobel Prize winning work in an easy comprehensible manner so that science enthusiasts especially our young and budding scientists and students can be inspired.
