conducting edge states. As topological protection prevents backscattering in such states, spin and charge transport should occur without dissipation, which could be used to create low-power

devices. Xiaofeng Qian and co-workers have now proposed a transistor that operates by switching the topological behaviour of these materials on and off. This is a preview of subscription
