Theorists Propose New State of Matter in Semiconductor

S.C. Zhang at Stanford and 2 of his current/former graduate students are proposing a new state of matter in semiconductors. They called it "quantum spin Hall states". The proposed state is to be published in Science (B. A. Bernevig, T. L. Hughes, S.-C. Zhang, Science 314, 1757 (2006)). You may read the Stanford press released on this idea here.
