Spintronics is a portmanteau that means "spin transport electronics." Traditional transistors rely on electrical states to perform calculations -- a 0 is "off" and a 1 is "on." As process nodes have ...

From smartphones to supercomputers, almost all our daily electronics run on the flow of "electron charge." But did you know?

Spintronics -- devices that use microscopic magnetism in conjunction with electric current -- could lead to computing technology as fast as conventional electronics but much more energy efficient. As ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- UC Riverside has received a Collaborative Research and Training Award of nearly $4 million from the UC National Laboratory Fees Research Program to explore how antiferromagnetic ...

Spintronics—a technology that harnesses the electron's magnetic quantum states to carry information—could pave the way for a new generation of ultra-energy-efficient electronics. Yet a major challenge ...

Whether bismuth is part of a class of materials highly suitable for quantum computing and spintronics was a long-standing issue. Research has now revealed that the true nature of bismuth was masked by ...

What will the computers of tomorrow look like? Chances are good that spintronics will play a decisive role in the next ...
