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 ...

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

The field of spintronics has evolved significantly since the pioneering discoveries of spin injection and giant magnetoresistance in the 1980s, which relied on spin-polarized electron injection from a ...

A research team led by Prof. Long Shibing from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has, for the first time, made spintronic neuromorphic ...

Conventional electronics process information leveraging the electrical charge of electrons. Over the past few decades, some electronics engineers have been exploring the potential of a different type ...

Since the discoveries of spin injection and giant magnetoresistance in the 1980s, which relied on spin-polarized electron injection from a ferromagnetic metal to a normal metal, the field of ...

Switching of spin structure in an antiferromagnetic device using electric current. The device temperature rises to the point where thermal as well as electromagnetic (spin torque) effects contribute ...
