Is There a Standard Way to Make a Topological Matter?

These days, people have made three d topological materials. The way they do it is sort of similar to the way you operate with semi conductors. And so these materials are better conductors than, for example, copper is. So that's very promising. Practically speaking, there are big obstacles there. You can't just be like, i have a new complex kind of material which only works in the lab in tiny mic duces. Can we now insert it into everyday electronics? It maybe gives us a sense of how difficult it is to make these materials. But if we find one that's especially useful and specially powerful, i'm sure we'll come up with ways to produce
