Graphene Holds Promise For Spintronics
February 10, 2008 Graphene is a nanomaterial combining very simple atomic structure with intriguingly complex and largely unexplored physics. Since its first isolation about four years ago researchers suggested a ... > full story -
Magnetism Loses Under Pressure
January 29, 2008 Scientists discovered that the magnetic strength of magnetite -- the most abundant magnetic mineral on Earth -- declines drastically when put under pressure. Researchers have found that when ... > full story -
Earth's Getting 'Soft' In The Middle, Geologists Note
January 24, 2008 A new study suggests that material in part of the lower mantle has unusual electronic characteristics that make sound propagate more slowly, suggesting that the material there is softer than ... > full story -
Physicists Find New Explanation For Superconductivity's 'Glue'
December 20, 2007 Researchers have identified an alternative explanation for the microscopic origins of the "glue" that binds electrons during high-temperature ... > full story -
Pure Spin Currents In Silicon Generated, Modulated, And Electrically Detected
December 3, 2007 Scientists have generated, modulated and electrically detected a pure spin current in silicon, the semiconductor used most widely in the electronic device industry. This demonstration is a key ... > full story -
Blue Dye Could Hold The Key To Super Processing Power
November 28, 2007 A technique for controlling the magnetic properties of a commonly used blue dye could revolutionize computer processing power, according to new research. Scientists have demonstrated that they can ... > full story -
Optical Technique For Controlling Electron Spins In Quantum Dot Ensembles Developed
November 15, 2007 Scientists are closer to developing novel devices for optics-based quantum computing and quantum information processing, as a result of a breakthrough in understanding how to make all the spins in an ... > full story -
Electron Spin Rotated With Electric Field
November 1, 2007 Researchers have succeeded in controlling the spin of a single electron merely by using electric fields. This clears the way for a much simpler realization of the building blocks of a (future) ... > full story -
Silicon Can Work For New-Age Spintronics Applications
October 26, 2007 In a rapid follow-up to their achievement as the first to demonstrate how an electron's spin can be electrically injected, controlled and detected in silicon, electrical engineers from the University ... > full story -
Massive Star's Afterlife: A Supernova Seeds New Planets
October 23, 2007 A spectacular new image shows how complex a star's afterlife can be. By studying the details of an amazing image, astronomers can better understand how some stars die and disperse elements like ... > full story
