(SPIN elecTRONICS) Using the spin of an electron to represent binary data (0 or 1). Spintronics techniques are capable of much higher speed while requiring less power than the conventional method of using electron charges to represent data. Expected to become widely used in sensors and non-volatile memories, the first use of spintronics was in the late 1980s with the development of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) read heads for disk drives. See magnetoresistance and MRAM. |

So far, though, researchers have had to make spintronic gates out of multiple layers of metallic materials, in arrangements that would be difficult to link on a chip, says Hanan Dery, an engineer at the University of California, San Diego. Similarly, work is being carried out to scale up spintronic molecules containing two atoms (typically metal atoms) in an organic system such that spin can be transferred from one to the other and sensed.
