Unraveling how chirality, which creates two distinct states, could one day be used to store digital information

"helimagnets exhibit chirality through magnetism... rectification, nonreciprocal electronic transport, directly reflects/ allows reading this chirality... quantum helimagnet α-EuP3 has local magnetic moments with chiral magnetic texture... magnetic structure controlled using external magnetic fields, which in turn manipulates electronic behavior revealing nonreciprocal transport's microscopic origins... altering magnetism between chiral (strong rectification)/ achiral (no rectification)... functional quantum chiral information storage"
