Electronics traditionally rely on harnessing the electron’s charge, but researchers are now exploring the possibility of harnessing its other intrinsic properties. In a recent study, scientists from Japan demonstrated that sound waves in certain solids can generate orbital currents—flow of electron orbital angular momentum. Their findings establish a foundation realizing next-generation ‘orbitronic’ devices using existing acoustic technology.
