A first: Spintronics made visible
It’s an important emerging field, spintronics; though it’s not too well known. It’s based on a quantum property of electrons – they spin. Some electrons spin ‘up,’ some spin ‘down’ and if you can get a device to read that state of up or down, that’s the basis for many kinds of electronics. This includes [...]

Remodeling: A new model for material science
At one level this is a simple piece of news, announced by Princeton University (New Jersey, USA): Princeton engineers, led by Emily Carter, Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Applied and Computational Mathematics, have refurbished an 80-year-old mathematical formula to develop a new approach for computer models used in material science. At another level, [...]

Breakthrough will lead to further entanglements
The title of this post, “Breakthrough will lead to further entanglements” should be taken literally…and figuratively. An experiment by L. G. Herrmann in France, working with colleagues in France, Spain, and Germany, and published in Physical Review Letters has demonstrated for the first time in a solid state device the property of quantum mechanics called [...]
