Superconductivity from the condensation of topological defects in a quantum spin-Hall insulator.

abstract：:Understanding human cooperation is of major interest across the natural and social sciences. But it is unclear to what extent cooperation is actually a general concept. Most research on cooperation has implicitly assumed that a person's behaviour in one cooperative context is related to their behaviour in other settin...
