Researchers in Finland have experimentally realized a long-predicted class of quantum material: a two-dimensional topological crystalline insulator.

Using the advanced capabilities of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), researchers have directly measured a key nuclear reaction involving the radioactive isotope arsenic-73. By accelerating this rare isotope and directing it into a hydrogen target, the team was able to observe proton capture leading to the formation of selenium-74. Credit: Shutterstock
