Measurements reveal that the antiferromagnet ruthenium dioxide (RuO2) can generate an electric-field-induced spin current with a component of spin polarization perpendicular to the sample plane. This verifies theoretical predictions and provides a strategy for the future development of highly energy-efficient magnetic storage devices.
