Scientists twist tiny crystals to control electricity
SMRTR summary
Scientists developed a precision cutting technique using focused ion beams to carve tiny helical structures from magnetic crystals, creating switchable diodes where electricity flows more easily in one direction. The twisted nanoscale shapes directly control electron movement, demonstrating how geometry itself can engineer new electronic functions for future memory, logic, and sensing technologies.
