Quantum Spin Hall Effect Directly Observed And Explained

An international research team has succeeded in gaining an in-depth insight into an unusual phenomenon. The researchers succeeded for the first time in directly measuring the spin of electrons in a material that exhibits the quantum spin Hall effect. This paves the way towards fault-tolerant quantum computers and towards a source of spin currents.
