Room temperature electrically pumped topological insulator lasers

Topological insulator lasers offer robustness and efficiency due to their unique properties but usually require cryogenic temperatures or optical pumping. Here the authors demonstrate an electrically pumped topological insulator laser operating at room temperature.
