A research team led by Prof. Shao Dingfu at the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has unveiled a new mechanism for ...

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 ...

Twistronics isn’t a new dance move, exercise equipment, or new music fad. No, it’s much cooler than any of that. It is an exciting new development in quantum physics and material science where van der ...

Iron-rich hematite, commonly found in rocks and soil, turns out to have magnetic properties that make it a promising material for ultrafast next-generation computing. In 2023, EPFL researchers ...

Spintronics, or spin-electronics, is a revolutionary approach to information processing that utilizes the intrinsic angular momentum (spin) of electrons, rather than solely relying on electric charge ...

Igor Zutic, an assistant professor in the Department of Physics, College of Arts and Sciences, focuses his research in the emerging field of "spintronics," which he says could someday revolutionize ...

Long gone are the days where all our data could fit on a two-megabyte floppy disk. In today's information-based society, the increasing volume of information being handled demands that we switch to ...

This npj Spintronics collection is dedicated to the techniques and methods that underpin spintronics, providing insight into current efforts to characterize and understand spin-based phenomena. One of ...

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 ...
