Topological insulators could form the basis for revolutionary electronic components. However, as they generally only function at very low temperatures, their practical application has been severely ...

Purdue University doctoral student Yang Xu, lead author of a new research paper on "topological insulators," an emerging class of materials that could make possible "spintronic" devices and practical ...

Scientists are leveraging quantum physics to develop new energy production methods, aiming to address the computing industry's growing energy demands. Researchers at MIT have devised a novel approach ...

The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) is one of the most important phenomena in condensed matter physics, holding significant promise in low-energy-dissipation electronics that could possibly ...

The quantum Hall effect, a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic current. It arises from the motion of electrons on an orbit around the nuclei of ...

Researchers observe over a dozen never-before-seen quantum states in a unique quantum material. There are a seemingly endless number of quantum states that describe quantum matter and the strange ...
