Nanomolding of topological nanowires could speed the discovery of new materials for applications such as quantum computing, microelectronics and clean-energy catalysts.
Nanomolding could speed discovery of new topological materials
Intriguing material property found in complex nanostructures could dissipate energy
The phenomenon in question is called anelasticity. It relates to how materials react to stresses over time. When the materials studied in this paper were bent, tiny defects moved slowly in response to the stress gradient. When the stress is released, the tiny defects slowly return to their initial positions, resulting in the anelastic behavior.
