The last ten years have seen an explosion in the potential for topology to affect our everyday lives through electronics. When many of us think of topology, we think of a Mobius strip demonstration in high school, or an esoteric branch of mathematics, but in fact several recent discoveries have connected these abstract concepts with applications that may change the way electronics and information processing works in the future. For example, so-called topological insulators may be developed that enable computer chips to run with markedly lower energy loss.

在过去的十年中，拓扑的爆炸可能会通过电子产品影响我们的日常生活。 当我们许多人想到拓扑时，我们会想到高中的Mobius脱衣舞演示，或者是数学的深奥分支，但实际上，最近的一些发现将这些抽象概念与可能会改变未来电子产品和信息处理的应用联系起来。 例如，可以开发出所谓的拓扑绝缘子，使计算机芯片能够以明显较低的能源损失运行。
