Could better spin injection lead to a quantum information device? (PhysOrg) One of the more promising types of materials for use in spintronics today is the class of metal alloys known as Heusler alloys. These alloys are named after a German engineer, and might be useful in technology in which electron quantum spin states are used to enhance electronic devices. Additionally, Heusler alloys may have an effect in quantum memory processing and telecommunications.
Spintronics - "Spin-based Electronics" (SciScoop) Spintronics is "Spin based electronics". The idea is to use the electron's spin, as well as it's charge. Hopefully Spintronics will allow us to do more "work" than electronics, with less effort. Spintronics-info is a web site dedicated to bring Spintronics news and resources.
New Logic: The Attraction Of Magnetic Computation (Science Daily) Researchers have demonstrated functional components that exploit the magnetic properties of electrons to perform logic operations. Compatible with existing microtechnology, the new approach heralds the next era of faster, smaller and more efficient electronics.
Can we freeze time? Using lasers to film the secret lives of atoms -- frame by frame (PhysOrg) Cutting edge laser 'cameras' which can film the super-fast movements of electrons inside materials are the subject of an Imperial College exhibit at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2008, which opens to the public today (1 July).
Record research investment to benefit New Zealand (Scoop.co.nz) The Foundation for Research, Science and Technology has approved a record $785 million in contracts with more than two dozen research organisations in its main 2008 investment round.
New logic: the attraction of magnetic computation (PhysOrg) European researchers are the first to demonstrate functional components that exploit the magnetic properties of electrons to perform logic operations. Compatible with existing microtechnology, the new approach heralds the next era of faster, smaller and more efficient electronics.
