"amorphous state material suitable for hosting physical properties topological materials using band topology.. iron-tin amorphous thin films. They demonstrated that despite a short-range atom arrangement, the amorphous material still showed the same special effects as in the crystalline materials, notably the anomalous Hall effect and the Nernst effect... easier and cheaper... sensing technology, which is important for creating Internet of Things where many devices are connected and communicate with each other"
