Puzzling material acts as conductor and insulator at the same time

University of Cambridge researchers have discovered that a material already known for its peculiar electrical properties appears to behave as both a conductor and an insulator at the same time. This find could represent the discovery of an entirely new class of materials, challenging our current understanding of how metals behave.
