Semimetals promise more efficient conductivity, outperforming copper in energy use Copper’s limitations drive the search for semimetals like niobium phosphide Niobium phosphide conducts electricity ...

Weyl fermions are unusual particles. They are like electrons but don't have any mass. Weyl fermions move very fast and ...

Weyl semimetals are topological materials whose low-energy excitations obey the Weyl equation. In a Weyl semimetal, the conduction and valence bands touch at discrete points in momentum space called ...

The observation of an abnormal state of matter in a 2-D magnetic material is the latest development in the race to harness novel electronic properties for more robust and efficient next-generation ...

Imagine how much you could accomplish if the circuits in your laptop and cell phone worked 10 times faster, and your battery lasted 10 times longer, than they do now. In order to understand the ...

A technical paper titled “Layered semimetal electrodes for future heterogeneous electronics” was published by researchers at IIT Madras and Indian Institute of Science Education and Research. Find the ...

When topological nodal semimetals are placed in a strong magnetic field, they become very good at converting heat current into electric power. That’s the new result from researchers at the ...

Researchers in China and at UC Davis have measured high conductivity in very thin layers of niobium arsenide, a type of material called a Weyl semimetal. The material has about three times the ...

A layered semimetal laced with atomic impurities offers highly efficient conversion between heat and electrical current Further work will now be done to optimize the thermoelectric performance of the ...

Imagine a world in which electricity could flow through the grid without any losses or where all the data in the world could be stored in the cloud without the need for power stations. This seems ...
