Letting The Spin Loose
July 12, 2005 Two properties of an electron - its spin and its charge - are generally thought to be inseparable, intrinsic characteristics, no more given to sudden changes or going off on their own than say, the ... > full story -
Discovery Of 'Doping' Mechanism In Semiconductor Nanocrystals
July 8, 2005 Novel electronic devices based upon nanotechnology may soon be realized due to a new understanding of how impurities, or 'dopants,' can be intentionally incorporated into semiconductor nanocrystals. ... > full story -
Physicists Control The Flip Of Electron Spin In New Study
May 27, 2005 Today's computers and other technological gizmos operate on electronic charges, but researchers predict that a new generation of smaller, faster, more efficient devices could be developed based on ... > full story -
Nanotechnology Combined With Superconductivity Could Pave The Way For 'Spintronics'
May 27, 2005 As the ever-increasing power of computer chips brings us closer and closer to the limits of silicon technology, many researchers are betting that the future will belong to "spintronics": a nanoscale ... > full story -
HAPPEx Results Hint At Strangely Magnetic Proton
May 13, 2005 New results from research performed at the Department of Energy's Jefferson Lab hint that strange quarks may contribute to the proton's magnetic ... > full story -
Quasiparticle Behavior In Bose Quantum Liquids
March 26, 2005 Quasiparticles carry energy in condensed matter. In the world of quasiparticle physics, understanding when and how these energy carriers fail opens doors to another level of understanding, and can ... > full story -
Spintronic Materials Show Their First Move
March 26, 2005 How much energy does it take for an electron to hop from atom to atom, and how do the magnetic properties of the material influence the rate or ease of hopping? Answers to those questions could help ... > full story -
Physics Team Puts New Twist On Spin Hall Effect
February 11, 2005 An international team of physicists that includes a Texas A&M University professor has announced discovery of a new spintronic effect in semiconductor chips, the intrinsic spin Hall effect, which ... > full story -
Tiny Superconductors Withstand Stronger Magnetic Fields
February 11, 2005 Ultrathin superconducting wires can withstand stronger magnetic fields than larger wires made from the same material, researchers now report. This finding may be useful for technologies that employ ... > full story -
Huygens Sets Off With Correct Spin And Speed
January 11, 2005 On Christmas Day 2004, the Cassini spacecraft flawlessly released ESA’s Huygens probe, passing another challenging milestone for Cassini-Huygens mission. But, with no telemetry data from ... > full story
