Delft University of Technology rotates electron spin with electric field
Researchers at the Delft University of Technology's Kavli Institute of Nanoscience and the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) have succeeded in controlling the spin of a single electron merely by using electric fields.   view more (2007-11-02)

Oregon physicists don't flip spin but find possible electron switch
University of Oregon researchers trying to flip the spin of electrons with laser bursts lasting picoseconds (a trillionth of a second) instead found a way to manipulate and control the spin -- knowledge that may prove useful in a variety of new materials and technologies.   view more (2008-05-28)

Letting the spin loose
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 fur on a cat or the paint on a bicycle. But a team of scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science has... view more (2005-07-13)

Discovery by UC Riverside physicists could enable development of faster computers
Physicists at UC Riverside have made an accidental discovery in the lab that has potential to change how information in computers can be transported or stored. Dependent on the "spin" of electrons, a property electrons possess that makes them behave like tiny magnets, the discovery could... view more (2008-06-24)

University of Ulster Announces £12m+ Venture Capital
The University of Ulster is to launch a £12m+ Venture Capital Fund to help commercialise the products of its research programmes.   view more (2002-04-30)

New Speed Record for Magnetic Memories
Fast memory chips such as DRAMs and SRAMs (Dynamic and Static Random Access Memory) commonly used today have one decisive disadvantage: in case of power interruption, they lose their stored information.   view more (2008-08-19)

Moving Quarks Help Solve Proton Spin Puzzle
New theory work at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has shown that more than half of the spin of the proton is the result of the movement of its building blocks: quarks.   view more (2008-09-15)

Improved Spin Transistor from Oxford University
Researchers at Oxford University’s Physics Department have developed an improved version of the “spin transistor,” a device which has the principle operating characteristics of a conventional transistor but with the added benefit of a current output dependent on the strength of... view more (2002-08-15)

Physicists pin down spin of surface atoms
Scientists who dream of shrinking computers to the nanoscale look to atomic spin as one possible building block for both processor and memory, yet setting the spin of an atom, let alone measuring it, has been a challenge.   view more (2007-09-13)

Disorder may be in order for 'spintronic' devices
Physicists at JILA are using ultrashort pulses of laser light to reveal precisely why some electrons, like ballet dancers, hold their spin positions better than others—work that may help improve spintronic devices, which exploit the magnetism or "spin" of electrons in addition to or... view more (2007-02-16)

Imperial`s spin-out engine secures £20 million boost for development of new science, technology and medical companies
Imperial College and Nikko Principal Investments Ltd have signed a £20 million deal to accelerate the development of spin-out companies set up by Imperial College Innovations, the College`s technology transfer company. Nikko, via its new subsidiary NPI Ventures, will benefit from the... view more (2002-04-02)

UK Universities show that research is worth it
The UK is now more efficient than the US at converting university research into useful inventions and commercialising them through spin-off companies, Dr Ederyn Williams, Director of Warwick Ventures at the University of Warwick, will tell a Royal Academy of Engineering conference on Monday 29... view more (2002-04-26)

Breakthrough for the computer of tomorrow?
For the first time a material now exists that is not only a semiconductor but also exhibits exploitable magnetic properties at room temperature. Researchers at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden, have taken the lead in an international race to find the technology of... view more (2003-09-25)

NRL scientists demonstrate efficient electrical spin injection into silicon
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have efficiently injected a current of spin-polarized electrons from a ferromagnetic metal contact into silicon, producing a large electron spin polarization in the silicon.   view more (2007-07-17)

Nano-signals get a boost from magnetic spin waves
Researchers have figured out how nanoscale microwave transmitters gain greater signal power than the sum of their parts-a finding that will help in the design of nano-oscillator arrays for possible use as transmitters and receivers in cell phones, radar systems, or computer chips.   view more (2006-09-01)

Memory in artificial atoms
Three of our nano-physicists have made a discovery that can change the way we store data on our computers. This means that in the future we can store data much faster, and more accurate. Their discovery has been published in the scientific journal Nature Physics.   view more (2008-04-08)
