Scientists have developed a synthetic material design that can control the temperature at which a material can overcome the electronic 'traffic jam' transition from electrical insulator to conductor, laying the groundwork for an electronic switch that More efficient than a transistor. Generally, the most commonly found materials are either electrical conductors (such as copper or aluminum) or electrical insulators (such as plastic and paper). Correlated electron materials are a class of materials that undergo electronic transitions from an insulator to a metal. However, these changes operate as a function of temperature making…
