But the distance electricity travels is limited by gaps in the electronic structure of organic molecules used to build such 1D wires, says Latha Venkataraman, a chemist and applied physicist at ...

Dual topological phases have been discovered in an intrinsic monolayer crystal, a finding that reveals new and unique rule-bending properties in a quantum material, an international team of scientists ...

Light conducts around the edge of a simulated topological insulator, shown at the bottom of image. The topological insulator is made from a layer of a 2D material resting atop a photonic crystal ...

A topological insulator is an insulator with a twist. It's mostly an insulator, but it has a special feature where its outer surface, whatever shape it may be, is conductive.

A research group led by Prof. LI Xingxing of University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of Chinese Academy of Chinese (CAS) made a reversible topological control in 2D ...

The unique quantum properties of bismuth selenide make it a promising catalyst for the synthesis of organic ureas, as demonstrated by scientists at Tokyo Tech. Thanks to its topological surface ...

Researchers find way to observe, control the way electrons spin on the surface of exotic new materials Exotic materials called topological insulators, discovered just a few years ago, have yielded ...
