Spin–orbit coupling in non-centrosymmetric heterostructures is called the Rashba effect. This Review highlights the latest progress covering new classes of materials with a variety of ‘Rashba-like’ spin–momentum locking schemes and new trends in non-equilibrium transport leading to enhanced functionalities in spin- and optoelectronics.
