Researchers found a way to dramatically change the electronic properties of a metal simply by tweaking its thickness at the nanoscale. Credit: AI/ScienceDaily.com Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have demonstrated an unexpected new way to change how a metal behaves electronically. By carefully engineering the atomic interactions where two materials come into contact, the team was able to significantly alter the properties of a metallic material. The findings, published in
