University of Utah physicists stored information for 112 seconds in what may become the world’s tiniest computer memory: magnetic “spins” in the centers or nuclei of atoms. Then the physicists ...

We’ve long known that encoding data using electron spin could revolutionize computer performance – and now it’s been successfully demonstrated for the first time ever. Ohio State researchers built a ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue University physicists have built a critical component for the development of quantum computers and spintronic devices, potentially bringing advances in cryptography and ...

Converting the spin wave into an optical signal is the first half of the spin-to-charge conversion process. In the next step, the optical signal can be coupled to electrons, forming the basis for the ...

A Japanese researcher is experimenting with a way to manipulate the spin of electrons in magnetized solids so as to eventually make computer memory devices that produce much less heat than ...

What will the computers of tomorrow look like? Chances are good that spintronics will play a decisive role in the next generation of computers. In spintronics, the intrinsic angular momentum of an ...
