[NewCandle] Topological Insulators

[Nick Reiter]

So the gas containing fractional states... would that be Cz (crazium?!?!)

Hit someone with a beam of those particles and watch them turn turn polka dotted and sprout a size 12 boot from the side of their head?

The most exciting thing about all of this is that Bi2Te3 in fun form is only 1.5 meters away to my right, sitting in my collection of Peltier chips.
