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, ...

A pair of studies from Argonne National Laboratory, published in recent months, have given physicists two new ways to peer ...

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 ...

Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory are advancing next-generation electronics by unlocking the behavior of ...

Data is growing at a staggering pace, pushing charge-based microelectronics, such as smartphones and laptops, to their ...

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 ...

Using neutron scattering and voltage measurements, a group of researchers have discovered that a material's magnetic properties can predict spin current changes with temperature. The finding is a ...

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, ...

In some materials, spins form complex magnetic structures within the nanometre and micrometre scale in which the magnetization direction twists and curls along specific directions. Examples of such ...

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 ...

Electronics are based on electrical charges being transported from one place to another. Electrons move, current flows, and signals are transmitted by applying an electrical voltage. However, there is ...
