Spintronics, also known as spin electronics, is a rapidly developing field that explores the potential of utilising the spin of electrons in solid-state devices. Spin is one of the three inherent ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- How would you like a truly "cool" laptop that runs without generating all that useless heat? Or an iPod with many times more memory than is possible now? These are a few of the ...

Spintronics devices will be key to realizing faster and more energy-efficient computers. To give us a better understanding of how to make them, a Kobe University team now showed how different ...

Spintronics is a fundamentally different approach to building programmable systems using electricity. As well as exploiting electrons’ charge states as in the case of traditional electronics, ...

The field of spintronics has, so far, focused on magnetic systems with uncompensated order, i.e. ferromagnets and ferrimagnets. Both these systems can be easily studied using conventional techniques, ...

Conventional electronic devices rely on the generation, transport, manipulation, and detection of electric charge carriers, such as electrons and holes. Spintronics employs the intrinsic angular ...

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated an entirely new form of magnetism in a synthesized crystalline material. They're calling it p-wave magnetism. This discovery is ...

Researchers at Berkeley Lab have discovered that they can control the Curie temperature, and hence the magnetism of the semiconductor gallium manganese arsenide (GaMnAs). The breakthrough settles a ...
