Upper Story's second board game uses a gorgeous array of mechanical gadgets to give kids a physical, visual, fun way to understand electronics – and to give parents the feeling their young ...

Magnetism can be a strange and powerful force. In an almost supernatural way, magnets stick to surfaces with no adhesives, which is why games like Etch-a-Sketch and Operation have fascinated ...

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.

Thanks to spintronics and straintronics, computers could soon be powered by motion, or by tapping ambient energy from the environment around them.

Organic molecules allow producing printable electronics and solar cells with extraordinary properties. In spintronics, too, molecules open up the unexpected possibility of controlling the ...

Spintronics stores and processes information by exploiting the quantum spin (or intrinsic angular momentum) of electrons rather than their charge. The technology works by switching electronic spins, ...

A machine-learning revolution In the spintronics version of STT, we could switch the magnetization of a nanomagnet by transferring spin angular momentum from the spin-polarized current. Building an ...

Theoretical work has highlighted the potential of using devices in which spin-polarized carries are injected in single molecular magnets, and a few experiments have shown promising results. The ...

Physicists have discovered the equivalent of a new 'Ohm's Law' for spintronics - the emerging science of manipulating the spin of electrons for useful purposes. Unlike the Ohm's Law for ...

Using powerful magnets, researchers have found a way to store digital data -- zeroes and ones -- in the spin of an atom's nucleus. In theory, this spin memory should be faster and require less ...
