Mechanical strain is one of the most common tools used to tailor the properties of materials. In piezoelectric materials, stretching or compressing a crystal generates an electrical polarization. In piezomagnetic materials, it induces magnetization. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) and the University of Oxford have now discovered that mechanical strain also induc

Strain turns non-chiral crystals left- or right-handed on demand
What is confirmed
24Newzy has grouped reporting from Phys.org into one event record instead of publishing duplicate headlines.
The event currently relies on one source domain. The article should keep developing details clearly attributed until independent confirmation is available.
Why it matters
The development may affect how technology is built, regulated or used. The practical impact depends on technical details, availability and independent evaluation.
Background and context
This page is designed as a living record. New verified developments should be added to the timeline while older updates remain visible for context.
Editors should connect this report to an existing storyline when the event is part of a longer sequence of decisions, announcements, matches or conflict developments.
