National Renewable Energy Laboratory scientists contributed first-principles calculations and co-authored "Mapping the Orbital Wavefunction of the Surface States in 3-D Topological Insulators" paper. Research shows class of materials being looked at for next gen computers behaves asymmetrically at sub-atomic level. This promotes understanding of topological insulators that may have potential to be building blocks of quantum computers that could run on almost no electricity.
