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 ...

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 pair of studies from Argonne National Laboratory, published in recent months, have given physicists two new ways to peer ...

Our data-driven world demands more—more capacity, more efficiency, more computing power. To meet society's insatiable need for electronic speed, physicists have been pushing the burgeoning field of ...

Traditionally, magnetic materials have been divided into two main categories: ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. Over the past few years, however, physicists have uncovered the existence of ...

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 ...

Researchers from CIC nanoGUNE, in collaboration with international partners, have achieved the first seamless 2D spintronics device made entirely from proximitized structures. They report a ...
