There is something about there being 4 electrons in the outermost shell of an element.

What is it?

Currents in these materials, being neutral, might not waste much of their energy as heat, as occurs in conventional semiconductors — potentially making the new materials a more efficient basis for computer chips.

This part is probably only hype, but the sideway movement looks very interesting, at least from a theoretical point of view.

TFA talks about a neutral zone. I assume there is a flow of equal number of (+) and (-) particles there.

If that is utilized, heat savings might prove to be true.
