Abstract in brief

Dislocation motion is crucial for the plasticity of materials and is typically influenced by mechanical forces, but researchers have now manipulated it using only an electric field.
Real-time experiments on single-crystalline zinc sulfide show that dislocations can move in both directions based on the electric field's orientation.
The findings reveal the charges of dislocation cores and demonstrate that applying an electric field decreases the energy barriers for their movement, indicating a new way to control material properties.
