Is That Study Legitimate? Here’s How to Tell
Scientific studies are frequently the basis for news stories that seem too good to be true. How does the audience separate fact from fiction? The head of research at the UA explains. (more…)

Magnetic topological insulators developed at UCLA are 1,000 times more energy-efficient for switching
Topological insulators are an emerging class of materials that act as both insulators and conductors, and could potentially be used in smartphones, computers and other electronic devices.
A research team at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science has developed a new class of topological insulators in which one of two layers is magnetized. The advance could lead to the development of much more energy-efficient big-data processing systems and ultra-low power electronics. (more…)
