The exotic material is built from atomic planes composed of Vanadium atoms arranged on a so-called kagome lattice—a pattern of interlaced triangles and hexagons—stacked on top of one another, with ...

After the pulse, the material is caught in an exotic state outside of equilibrium, or stability. Called metastable, these states are an exciting and largely unexplored phenomenon in materials science, ...

Topological insulators (TIs) are among the hottest topics in condensed matter physics today. They’re a bit strange: their surfaces conduct electricity, yet their interiors do not, instead acting as ...

A paper on the study was published in Nature Materials. After the pulse, the material is caught in an exotic state outside of equilibrium, or stability. Called metastable, these states are an ...
