Theoretical physicist uncovers how twisting layers of a material can generate mysterious electron-path-deflecting effect
In a study published in Nature, they investigated spirally stacked tungsten disulfide (WS2) crystals and discovered that, by twisting these layers, light could be used to manipulate electrons. The result is analogous to the Coriolis force, which curves the paths of objects in a rotating frame, like how wind and ocean currents behave on Earth. "What we discovered is that by simply twisting the material, we could control how electrons move,"
