Researchers at MIT have turned graphite into “gold” by stacking five ultrathin flakes of the material in a specific order. This new material is like a “one-stop shopping” material that can host a bunch of properties, including being insulating, magnetic, or topological. It's like a topological material is a perfect conductor on the edge and an insulator in the center. This discovery could lead to new technologies like faster computers and more efficient solar panels.
