We found 2D materials that are 'error-proof,' which might be the secret to finally making quantum computers work.
It is incredibly rare to find a material that flows electricity with zero resistance while also possessing a 'topological' structure that shields data. These monolayers provide a stable, flat platform for next-generation computing that doesn't exist in natural crystals.
Topological Superconductivity in Two-Dimensional ScSiX (X=Cl, Br) Monolayers

Two-dimensional (2D) materials that host both Dirac points and van Hove singularities (VHSs) provide a fertile platform for exploring exotic quantum states, including high-temperature ferromagnetism and topological superconductivity. However, material candidates simultaneously exhibiting non-trivial electronic topology and intrinsic superconductivity remain rare. Here, we predict two rectangular 2D monolayers, $\text{ScSiCl}$ and $\text{ScSiBr}$, with exceptional stabilities by first-principles
