Electrons Are Surprising Mobile in This New Material

Caption

A material made at Princeton has highest electron mobility among known layered magnetic materials. Electrons inside the material, gadolinium tritelluride, are able to travel at high speeds with minimal scattering, reducing the heat dissipation of any electronic devices built from it.
