Spin-orbit torque can drive switching in ferromagnets, and therefore can be used for the electrical writing of magnetic bits. Here, Yoon et al. take this essential idea a step further, demonstrating mutual switching, where a ferromagnet can drive switching in an antiferromagnet, switching the sign of the spin-orbit torque itself.
