Scientists discover exotic quantum state at room temperature

For the first time, physicists have observed novel quantum effects in a topological insulator at room temperature. This breakthrough, published as the cover article of the October issue of Nature Materials, came when Princeton scientists explored a topological material based on the element bismuth.

Great, Bismuth already had interesting applications for example with all-V redox flow batteries (VRFB)

Side note : I wouldn't mind getting one of these for my collection.
