Room-temperature spintronic computers coming soon? Silicon spin transistors heat up and spins last longer |
March 16, 2011
Researchers have built "spintronic" transistors and used them to align the magnetic "spins" of electrons for a record period of time in silicon chips at room temperature. The study is a step toward computers, phones and other spintronic devices that are faster and use less energy than their electronic counterparts.
