Our recent discovery is highlighted in CU Boulder Today:

Physicists probe ‘astonishing’ morphing properties of honeycomb-like material

August 2022

Our most recent paper entitled Control of chiral orbital currents in a colossal magnetoresistance material is published in Nature 611, 467–472 (2022)  https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05262-3

This work demonstrats current-control of chiral-orbital-current-enabled colossal magnetoresistance and offers a new paradigm for quantum technologies.
