Pairing old technologies with new for next-generation electronic devices

Pairing old technologies with new for next-generation electronic devices
London, UK (SPX) Aug 13, 2014 - UCL scientists have discovered a new method to efficiently generate and control currents based on the magnetic nature of electrons in semi-conducting materials, offering a radical way to develop a new generation of electronic devices. One promising approach to developing new technologies is to exploit the electron's tiny magnetic moment, or 'spin'. Electrons have two properties - cha ... more
