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 -
New Path For Designing Novel Nanomaterials Discovered
October 12, 2007 Scientists have found a novel way to "look" at atomic orbitals, and have directly shown for the first time that they change substantially when interacting at the interface of a ferromagnet and a ... > full story -

Quantum Computing Possibilites Enhanced With New Material
October 8, 2007 A newly developed material could be to computers of the future what silicon is to the computers of today. The material -- a compound made from the elements potassium, niobium and oxygen, along with ... > full story -
Quantum Device Traps, Detects And Manipulates The Spin Of Single Electrons
September 27, 2007 Engineers have made a novel device that simply and conveniently traps, detects and manipulates the single spin of an electron, overcoming some major obstacles that have prevented progress toward ... > full story -
A New Look At The Proton
September 25, 2007 A young scientist has investigated more than three million collisions between electrons and protons. In his PhD thesis he demonstrates -- for the first time -- that the spin contribution of quarks to ... > full story -
Deep Earth Model Challenged By New Experiment
September 20, 2007 In the first experiments able to mimic the crushing, searing conditions found in Earth's lower mantle, and simultaneously probe telltale properties of iron, scientists have discovered that material ... > full story -
Could Graphene Replace Silicon in Electronics?
September 14, 2007 A game of billiards may never get smaller than this. Physicists have demonstrated that graphene -- a one-atom thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal rings -- can act as an atomic-scale ... > full story -
Missing Link In The Evolution Of Magnetic Cataclysmic Stars?
September 14, 2007 Astronomers might have discovered the missing link in the evolution of the so-called magnetic cataclysmic variable stars. They determined the spin and orbital periods of the binary star Paloma. They ... > full story
