Spintronics is a portmanteau that means "spin transport electronics." Traditional transistors rely on electrical states to perform calculations -- a 0 is "off" and a 1 is "on." As process nodes have ...

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?

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- UC Riverside has received a Collaborative Research and Training Award of nearly $4 million from the UC National Laboratory Fees Research Program to explore how antiferromagnetic ...
