online it says, “Scientists already knew that light waves have an electric field that can rotate as they propagate, which is known as the polarization property of light, and that light waves carry momentum in their direction of motion. In new findings,
researchers have discovered a "spin-momentum locking," meaning, for example, light waves that spin in a counterclockwise direction can only move forward, and vice versa.”

locked-for-photonics-technologies.html ; electrons have spin, so if this directionalizing effect also affects electrons it might be possible to make unidirectional electrons; like getting the function of a diode without a diode, a technology and physics
thing is that some kinds of computer logic can be built with diodes, so it is possible the electrons could be the computer. A spin-momentum-directionalizer that works at electrons might be possible to make sandwiches out of creating a new kind of
transistor where the EM fields overlap and the electrons are the transistor; that makes the electrons the entire computer, and as frequently mentioned, multifunction turing complete computers are described previously.
Some kind of thing is already known at electrons, “momentum of light analogous in many ways to the case of spin-momentum locking which occurs for electrons”
Atoms have spin; what is the effect of spin-momentum-directionalizing on atoms? Groups of atoms? New materials; chemistry?
