Title: Spin-based electronics gets boost
Post by: Simon on November 25, 2009, 22:08

The next generation of computers may make use of the "spin" of electrons instead of their charge.

Spintronics relies on manipulating these spins to make them capable of carrying data.  The technique has been shown in a number of materials at low temperatures before.
