"Our niobium phosphide conductors show that it's possible to send faster, more efficient signals through ultrathin wires. This could improve the energy efficiency of future chips, ...

Why is it that there are certain energies that an electron inside a material simply can not have? Like much of quantum physics, it's all because electrons are waves.

In a conductor an electron, depicted by a gray circle, can move to the conduction energy "bands" freely because there is no forbidden region (gap) present. Insulators have a gap large enough that ...
