[NewCandle] Topological Insulators

[Keith Nagel]

According to ref 11 from this paper, magnetic monopoles can
be induced in this material by electric charges. I wonder
if anyone has actually measured that? Here's a link to
the abstract for that ref,

Epic win there if true... What got you interested in the Bismuth Telluride?

Now this has been teasing my fancy:

Bismuth Telluride, now found to be a topological insulator material.

Who doesn't like bismuth, tellurium, OR exotic matter states!  Win, win and
WIN!
