Utah Engineers Pioneer New Field in Materials Science

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 20, 2013 — Shuttling information at the speed of light in quantum computers and other high-speed electronic devices may be feasible with organic materials that conduct electricity on their edges, but acts as an insulator inside, new theoretical calculations predict. The University of Utah study of these materials, called organic topological insulators, will help pioneer a new field of research in materials science, much as organic materials lowered the cost and eased production of LEDs and solar cells, said Feng Liu, professor and chair of materials science and engineering. “This is...Read full article
