Researchers Put 'Spin' in Silicon

ccellist writes "Physorg.com is reporting on the University of Delaware and Cambridge NanoTech's experiments regarding 'spintronics,' or the ability to use information about electron spin in atoms of silicon to encode information, much like we use information about an electron's charge state in computers today. 'Spintronics' research hopes to usher in a new age of computer speed and performance by measuring and even controlling the angular momentum displayed by all electrons, and using this information to encode data. Researchers for the first time have successfully conducted the spin of electrons in a custom-made silicon chip, a process known as 'spin transport.'"

  1. Zonk or Slashdot! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I encourage everyone to disable Javascript for slashdot.org in his settings
    and to disable the loading of images from other servers than slashdot.org as
    long as that FUD spewing loser is wasting our precious time here.

    The name of his own site says it all:

    http://www.randomdialogue.net/
    I have random things to say.

    That is what I get when I read Michael Zenke's ("Zonk") articles. Random
    dialogues about bullshit only Michael Zenke ("Zonk") cares about. I guess
    as a kid Michael Zenke ("Zonk") watched too much CNN where every sack of
    rice in china is a important and threatening story.

    I would rather read the whole duped SCO and Jack Thompson bullshit AGAIN
    than any new Michael Zenke ("Zonk") story.

    Forget it... it's TOO LATE! The market has already decided:
