Prospective digital data storage devices rely on novel fundamental magnetic phenomena. The better we understand these phenomena, the better the memory chips and hard drives we can build. Physicists have now completed the essential fundamental work for future storage devices: Using a creative approach of shaping magnetic thin films in curved architectures, they validated the presence of chiral responses in a commonly used magnetic material.
