– Physicists at MIT have observed edge states in a cloud of ultracold atoms, where electrons flow without resistance along a boundary
– This could lead to the development of materials for super-efficient, lossless transmission of energy and data
– The study’s co-authors are members of MIT’s Research Laboratory of Electronics and the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms
– The observations in atoms mirror predicted behavior of electrons in edge states
– The research was supported by the National Science Foundation.
