"Unveiling a New State of Matter with Chiral Currents in Quantum Materials"
Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter with chiral currents, a breakthrough with potential applications in electronics, quantum technologies, sensors, biomedicine, and renewable energy. This discovery, confirmed through direct observation using the Italian Elettra synchrotron, enriches our understanding of quantum materials and could lead to the development of new types of electronics and optoelectronic devices. The research group's findings, published in Nature, have verified the existence of this quantum state, previously only theorized, and could revolutionize the development of new ultra-thin electronic devices.
