Physicists use laser light to unlock a crystal's hidden electrical powers

Scientists have discovered how to use flashes of laser light to organize tiny electrical regions inside a crystal, solving a decades-old mystery about how the material behaves. The laser-induced alignment lasts just a trillionth of a second, but the breakthrough could open the door to new ways of processing and storing information.
