University of Utah Engineers Unlock Potential for Faster Computing

Monday, September 22, 2014 - 14:30 in Physics & Chemistry

University of Utah engineers discovered a way to create a special material - a metal layer on top of a silicon semiconductor - that could lead to cost-effective, superfast computers that perform lightning-fast calculations but don't overheat. This new "topological insulator" behaves like an insulator on the inside but conducts electricity on the outside.
