A research team at Tohoku University has shown that a steady electric current can hold electron spins in positions that ...

Electrons inherently carry both spin and orbital angular momentum (i.e., properties that help to understand the rotating motions and behavior of particles). While some physicists and engineers have ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

(Left) A conventional structure that runs a current through the outside of a magnet to generate spins and drive them into the magnet. Some of the spins leak out as they travel, and this spin loss ...

Scientists transform wasted spin loss into usable energy, powering a new principle for magnetic control and next-gen ultra-low power devices. Spintronics is a technology that utilizes the "spin" ...

Magnetization switching remains one of the central applications of spintronic devices. “Useful devices, such as magnetic memory or logic circuits, require the ability to switch individual magnetic ...

(Nanowerk News) Magnetization can be switched with a single laser pulse. However, it is not known whether the underlying microscopic process is scalable to the nanometer length scale, a prerequisite ...
