A 'zigzag' blueprint for topological electronics

A collaborative study confirms a potential new switching mechanism for a proposed generation of ultra-low energy topological electronics. Based on novel, quantum nanoribbons terminating on 'zigzag' edges, such devices would switch from non-conducting to conducting state, whereby electrical current could flow along topological edge states without wasted dissipation of energy.

Researchers develop recyclable, healable electronics

Electronics often get thrown away after use because recycling them requires extensive work for little payoff. Researchers have now found a w...
