Researchers Witness And Image Atomic Spin For The First Time

Theoretically speaking, we could exponentially increase computing power by manipulating the way in which electrons in individual atoms spin. Researchers in Germany have seen atomic spin for the very first time and captured a few tiny images to prove it.

Breakthrough Spintronics Single-Electron Pump To Bring Faster, More Efficient Processors

Stay with me for a second here: Imagine a chip that can transport electrons while controlling the way they are rotating. OK, forget about this. I don’t really know what I’m talking about. They do:
