Traditionally, it has been assumed that electrons travel more effectively in clean, ordered materials. This study presents a paradigm shift, suggesting that disordered structures can enhance electron mobility.
The findings point to a new mechanism that amplifies transverse electron transport, which could have significant implications for the design and performance of electronic devices.
As the field evolves, this research may lead to innovative applications in electronics, where leveraging disordered materials could optimize performance and efficiency.
