Scientists have identified a one-dimensional topological insulator that could revolutionize quantum computing and solar cell efficiency. This groundbreaking discovery paves the way for advancements in quantum computing and solar cell efficiency.
I gave up halfway because I’m just not gonna understand, but this is very exciting news - at least it appears to be.
They built a chain of tellurium instead of a cube or a sheet of it and cut it using a new very accurate technique to be 1 atom wide chain. They verified the endpoints are cut cleanly with radio image microscopy I think.
…ringworld, johnny mnemonic, and cube all taught me that monofilament is material to be feared…
You should check out The Three Body Problem too.
Once again, that’s over my head. I appreciate you adding context. Thanks! I have slightly more understanding of what this means.
That’s the best kind of science article. No catchy headline & too complicated even in a summary
