Scientists showed how MnBi6Te10, shown here in purple (tellurium), blue (bismuth) and green (manganese), can act as a magnetic topological insulator, conducting electrical current (blue) along a “quantum highway” without losing energy. The study revealed that a concerted action of different material defects is key to the quantum electronic properties. Credit: University of ChicagoQuantum...

Magnetic bacteria (gray) can squeeze through narrow intercellular spaces to cross the blood vessel wall and infiltrate tumors. Credit: Yimo Yan / ETH ZurichScientists worldwide are investigating how anti-cancer drugs can most efficiently reach the tumours they target. One probability is to use modified bacteria as "ferries" to bring the medications with the blood...
