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.
