NIST Collaboration Heats Up Exotic Topological Insulators
Posted in: 2016 Highlights, Featured Highlights, Scientific Highlights,
Fashion is changing in the avant-garde world of next-generation computer component materials. Traditional semiconductors like silicon are releasing their last new lines. Exotic materials called topological insulators (TIs) are on their way in. And when it comes to cool, nitrogen is the new helium.
