abstract = {Spin–momentum locking in a semiconductor device with
strong spin–orbit coupling (SOC) is thought to be an
important prerequisite for the formation of Majorana bound
states1, 2, 3. Such a helical state is predicted in
one-dimensional (1D) nanowires subject to strong Rashba SOC
and spin-mixing4—its hallmark being a characteristic
re-entrant behaviour in the conductance. Here, we report
direct experimental observations of the re-entrant
conductance feature, which reveals the formation of a
helical liquid, in the lowest 1D subband of an InAs
nanowire. Surprisingly, the feature is very prominent also
in the absence of magnetic fields. This behaviour suggests
that exchange interactions have a substantial impact on
transport in our device. We attribute the opening of the
pseudogap to spin-flipping two-particle backscattering5, 6,
7. The all-electric origin of the ideal helical transport
could have important implications for topological quantum
computing.},
