The findings might transform electronics and quantum computing.
An advancement in a topological insulator material, which has insulating residential or commercial properties internally however conductive residential or commercial properties on the surface area, has the prospective to change the realms of innovative electronics and quantum computing, say scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
This exotic product enables electrical power to stream throughout its surface and edges with no energy dissipation. The electric field causes a modification in the state of matter.
” The research could lead to many useful applications, such as next-generation electronics, spintronics, and quantum computing,” said ORNLs Mina Yoon, who led the study.
