Newswise — Scientists recently discovered that MnSiTe changes from an insulator to an electrically conductive metal when exposed to a magnetic field. This manganese-silicon-tellurium material is a semiconductor. Like other materials, its properties are shaped by the quantum realm. How the electrons interact with each other, their surroundings, electric or magnetic fields, and other factors determine properties such as hardness, ductility, strength, and resistivity.
