Technological evolution and revolution are propelled by the continuous discovery of new functionalities, materials, and innovative designs that drive the development of smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient components. This progress is happening at an astonishing pace, fueled by the ever-increasing demand for powerful and readily available information technology. High-speed internet, data streaming, home automation, tablets, and smartphones have become essential elements of our daily lives. As consumers seek increasingly more data storage and exchange capabilities, the pressure to meet these expectations continues to grow.

One promising and relatively new field that holds the potential to revolutionize information technology is oxide electronics. Oxide interfaces, particularly ferroic domain walls, offer unique physical properties due to their low local symmetry and increased susceptibility to external fields. These walls are spatially mobile and can be created, moved, and erased on demand, providing a level of flexibility that has the potential to transform future devices.

Domain walls, as reconfigurable electronic 2D components, enable the development of a new generation of adaptive nano-technology and flexible circuitry. These systems can be altered and upgraded throughout the device's lifetime, enabling unprecedented customization and adaptability. This transformation from fundamental research to a promising concept for next-generation technology is a testament to the continuous innovation and progress in the field of electronics.
