The Birth of Spinplasmonics

Roland Piquepaille writes "You might have heard of spintronics, a technology that uses the magnetic quantum properties of the spin of electrons, or plasmonics, another one which 'involves the transfer of light electromagnetic energy into a tiny volume, thus creating intense electric fields.' Now, researchers at the University of Alberta (U of A) have merged these two nascent research fields to create a new nanotechnology field called spinplasmonics. According to the researchers, this new technology, which was already used to control the quantum state of an electron's spin to switch a beam of terahertz light, could one day be the basis for 'computers with extraordinary capacities.'"

Tag 'ohnoitsroland' -- SCREW the system!

[siglercm]

I understand user tags are basically emasculated now -- tags no longer have any balls.

So, SCREW the system! Tag it 'ohnoitsroland' to show the eds how tired you are of Roland's drivel intended to whore out his pay-for-click blogs. And thank you.
