So how can you possibly get electrons behaving in both ways in a single material?
One way is to have a sandwich comprising a surface that is conducting juxtaposed with a bulk that is insulating.
In this way, they reveal details about the movement of electrons which is why the measurement is used typically to better understand the properties of conducting materials.
In this way, the strange behaviour of our material could be explained by the fact that wee discovered a new quantum state that fluctuates between being a metal and an insulator.
