Niobium phosphide is a topological semimetal with surfaces that are more conductive than the interior. Like a thin-crust pizza, when made thinner at lower temperatures, the structural interior shrinks, but the conductive surfaces remain, improving overall conductivity (or crispiness, in the case of the pizza).
Copper and other conventional conductors can only take us so far in nanotech.
A world built up from the nanoscale is on the horizon where computers run faster, phone batteries last longer, and massive data centers consume less power – all thanks to materials just a few atoms thick.
As electronics and processors get smaller, a critical hold-up has emerged where conventional materials like copper lo...
