An electric current can do the trick; as an electron crosses a domain wall and feels its own magnetic pointing, or spin, flipped from one orientation to the other, it forces an atom within the nanowire to
flip magnetic orientations as well to compensate.

But when the
magnetic orientations of the wires point in opposite directions, electrons moving through the cluster from one wire to the other must quickly
flip their spin.
(If the
magnetic field
orientation is
flipped relative to the electric field, the preference would be for left - handed particles, but still with opposite charges separating.)
A
magnetic monopole is generated when a disturbance causes a spin to
flip its
orientation.
By manipulating
magnetic and electromagnetic fields, they
flipped the electron's
orientation, changing the vibration frequency of the cantilever.
Lasers can also
flip the ions»
magnetic orientations, which encode the data carried by the string — an up
orientation can correspond to 1, and down can represent 0.
