A long-standing mystery in spintronics has just been shaken up. A strange electrical effect called unusual magnetoresistance ...

A team that has developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive in detecting off-axis magnetic fields at ...

Spintronics, an emerging field of technology, exploits the spin of electrons rather than their charge to process and store information. Spintronics could lead to faster, more power-efficient computers ...

Researchers proposed a completely novel strategy to apply an external magnetic field to modulate spin states, and thereby improve electrocatalytic performance. (Nanowerk News) The job of a catalyst is ...

Quantum mechanics states that electrons have two stable spins—up and down. With the advent of nanoscale fabrication methods, device companies are harnessing this knowledge to create devices. The ...

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Tongcang Li, a professor of physics and electrical and computer engineering, leads a team that has developed the BNNTs with optically active spin qubits. He also is on the faculty of the Purdue ...
