DESCRIPTION
A new electrical method to conveniently change the direction of electron flow in some quantum materials could have implications for the development of next-generation electronic devices and quantum computers. A team of researchers from Penn State developed and demonstrated the method in materials that exhibit the quantum anomalous Hall effect — a phenomenon in which the flow of electrons along the edge of a material does not lose energy.
