Chips Could Soon Not Need Electrical Current

A new scientific paper shows that, soon, silicon-based chips could no longer need electrical current to operate. The work details the advancements that were made in controlling electrons' spin, as opposed to their charge. At this point, microchips must absolutely have electrical current ... [ read more >> ]
