SALT LAKE CITY, March 15, 2011 - University of Utah researchers built "spintronic" transistors and used them to align the magnetic "spins" of electrons for a record period of time in silicon chips at ...

Canadian researchers have announced the laboratory creation of what they are calling a "spintronic transistor." According to a paper published in the American Physical Society's Physical Review ...

Canadian scientists have built a prototype of a single-spin transistor. As electronics that relies on the charge of electrons reaches its technology barrier, harnessing the spin of electrons is being ...

Quantum bits (qubits) are the smallest units of information in a quantum computer. Currently, one of the biggest challenges in developing this kind of powerful computer is scalability. A research ...

Transistors, specifically those made from silicon, are the cornerstone of modern electronics. From toasters to televisions, transistors appear in nearly everything with a circuit. They are also only ...
