(Nanowerk News) A University of Wollongong / Monash University collaboration has found evidence of a new phase of matter predicted in the 1960s: the excitonic insulator. The unique signatures of an ...

Table 1 Summary of the d-dimensional fractionalized topological insulators discussed here and their universal response properties (acronyms are defined in the main text). Full size table Besides ...

Most polymers -- materials made of long, chain-like molecules -- are very good insulators for both heat and electricity. But scientists have now found a way to transform the most widely used polymer, ...

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 ...

The global electrical insulation materials market revenue was around US$ 11.0 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach US$ 19.7 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6 ...

As a result of a joint intensive work of several groups from five different countries, including Basque Country, a new wide class of topological insulators materials that are insulators in the bulk ...

MADISON, WI—University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers have made a material that can transition from an electricity-transmitting metal to a nonconducting insulating material without changing its ...

This research sheds light on the mechanism behind how a special quantum material transitions from an electrical insulator to an electricity-conducting metal. Below a critical temperature, the subject ...

Researches have uncovered 'smoking-gun' evidence to confirm the workings of an emerging class of materials that could make possible 'spintronic' devices and practical quantum computers far more ...
