Scientists have made a breakthrough in the development of a new generation of electronics that will require less power and generate less heat.
It involves exploiting the complex quantum properties of electrons – in this case, the spin state of electrons.
In a world first, the researchers – led by a team of physicists from the University of Leeds – have announced in the journal Science Advances that they have created a ‘spin capacitor’ that is able to generate and hold the spin state of electrons for a number of hours.
Previous attempts have only ever held the spin state for a fraction of a second. In electronics, a capacitor holds energy in the form of electric charge...
