Researchers have devised a way to fabricate tiny electrodes from glass, harnessing a phenomenon by which nanoscale glass walls can be transformed from insulators to conductors and back again. At larger scales, that phenomenon, known as "dielectric breakdown," leads to excess heating and structural damage, but at the nanoscale the process appears to be harmless and reversible.
