Quantum oscillations defy expectations in this exotic material

A study published in Nature Communications has revealed an unusual form of quantum oscillation in a three-dimensional topological insulator. The findings show that electrons in zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe₅) can behave in unexpected ways when exposed to temperatures close to absolute zero and extremely powerful magnetic fields.
