Physicists have created 'impossible metal'

Physicists from Australia have discovered that the compound of tungsten and Tellurium simultaneously has the properties of metals and of ferroelectric, one of the "materials of the future".

This compound may be the basis for super-economical computers, based on the content of the article written by scientists in Science Advances magazine.

This material can be used as a 'memory of the future'.

Mr. Pankaj Sharma from the University of New South Wales in Sydney (Australia) said:

'From the 60s, theorists predicted that there must be an iron-metal substance, but only now can we create it.'

Some natural materials possess unusual properties - electrons in these materials are unevenly distributed, which can control their position by using strong electric fields.

Because of this characteristic, the crystals of substances called ferroelectrics by physicists, can be used as 'future memory', and information will be recorded in this memory in the form of taste. position of electron 'clusters' .

The "memory" will operate at the same speed as the modern RAM, but at the same time it will not lose information when the power is turned off and will be almost "permanent" compared to the flash chip. In addition, to read and write information requires only extremely small amounts of energy, which changes the nature of computers in the future.
