Topological materials are a class of materials that exhibit unique electronic properties at their boundary (surface in 3D materials; edge in 2D materials) that are robust against imperfections or ...

All the latest science news about mott insulator from Phys.org. ... University have shown experimentally how a unique form of magnetism arises in an odd class of materials called Mott insulators.

The topological insulator is made from a layer of a 2-D material resting atop a photonic crystal. The red and blue insets illustrate how the light wave twists differently in two example ...

It’s often one of the earliest science facts learned in grade school: Wood is a natural insulator.For those who need a refresher, that simply means the material generally isn’t a great ...
