Magnetism meets topology on a superconductor's surface

Scientists studying a compound belonging to the family of iron-based high-temperature superconductors have found that an energy band gap -- an energy range where no electrons are allowed -- opens at a point where two allowed energy bands intersect on the material's surface. This unusual electronic energy structure could be leveraged for quantum information science and electronics.
