Story summary

In a groundbreaking study, researchers from Tohoku, Osaka, and Manchester Universities have achieved one-way electron flow in the chiral helimagnet ?-EuP3, eliminating the need for diodes. By arranging europium atoms into a chiral spiral, they unlocked the potential for low-power, high-speed data storage, echoing the principles of early quantum electrodynamics. Their findings are featured in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
