Research into electrical insulators

Electronics can sometimes move as shakes as compasses and can form a special wave. The team of top scientists, Eiji Saito of Northeastern University, Japan, took advantage of this feature of electronics to study how electrical insulators could conduct electricity.

The results of this study were published in the British journal Nature on March 11.

"Because electricity can not travel through insulators, insulators are always unrepeatable," says Northeastern University.

The scientists conducted experiments by attaching a platinum electrode to Garnet (a non-metallic mineral). After conducting electricity from an electrode, although the Garnet itself does not conduct electricity, however, the scientists get another current from another electrode.

Scientist Eiji Saito explains that this is because after the platinum electrode produces the current, an effect is called 'Spin Hall.' As the compass shakes, the waveform moves like a wave and eventually forms the 'Spin Hall' wave. This wave can transmit electrons to neighboring regions, and after passing to another electrode it again converts into electricity.

In normal circuits, electrons are always traveling so it will generate heat due to resistance and lead to energy consumption. However, taking advantage of the new method to transfer electricity, it is very rare to encounter such a phenomenon.

As the integrated circuits of computers and mobile phones use both metal and semiconductors, it is important to minimize heat generation.

According to scientist Eiji Saito, 'In the past, if you want to make small circuits there will be an increase in heat generation, the speed will slow down. Therefore, the results of this research are of great significance to help improve the functionality and miniaturization of the circuit .
