Apr 03, 2022 (Nanowerk News) More than 60% of all drugs, including antibiotics and cancer treatments, are derived from natural products in the form of small molecules encoded by metabolic genes. These molecules often form complex chemical structures, shaped by billions of years of evolution across a diverse range of...
Making a ‘sandwich’ out of magnets and topological insulators, potential for lossless electronics
Apr 03, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A Monash University-led research team has discovered that a structure comprising an ultra-thin topological insulator sandwiched between two 2D ferromagnetic insulators becomes a large-bandgap quantum anomalous Hall insulator (Advanced Materials, "Large magnetic gap in a designer ferromagnet–topological insulator–ferromagnet heterostructure"). Such a heterostructure provides an avenue...
