Electronic Conduction at the Edge
An international team of researchers including Prof. Adrian Del Maestro at the University of Vermont may have uncovered a way to improve the efficiency of proposed future electronics built from the edges of a new class of exotic materials. In conventional electronic circuitry, electrons move through crystalline wires but their ...
