"rotating/ bonding 2 lithium niobate crystal insulators makes few atoms thick interface in between electrically conductive... controlling rotation angle during bonding tunes electrical resistance level... interfaces structurally stable/ do not degrade over time... base material ferroelectric so conductive channels movable or on/ off switchable using external electric fields... nano-electronics where the wires are built into the crystal itself: integrated photonic chips, non-volatile memory, quantum technologies"
