Pulling on the ends of a cobalt complex that bridges an electrical junction (as illustrated) changes the geometry of the coordinating ligands, hence the energies of electronic spin states, hence (as it turns out) the low-temperature electrical resistance of the junction. The authors of the paper cited here look toward potential applications for devices that [...]
