When graphene rips under stress, it does so in a very specific pattern, which follows the lines of least resistance. It was previously unknown that the single-atom-thick carbon compound was able to exhibit such a preference, say investigators who conducted the new study.
The work was carried out by scientists at th... |

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 in order to handle data, ... |

Scientists at the University of Cincinnati have recently discovered an innovative, new method of controlling the spin orientation of electrons – an area of research known as spintronics – using nothing more than electrical means. This has long since been hypothesized as possible, but has never been scient... |

The MRAM or Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory is part of a class of non-volatile computer memory (NVRAM) that has been developing ever since the early 1990's. The unique properties of these kinds of memories are thought to make them the dominant used memories in the future.Instead of using electric charges t... |

All currently used electronic devices rely on electron charge to function and to transmit information. A new science, called spintronics, tries to switch to using their spin instead of charge, thus potentially continuing the miniaturization process that is rapidly approaching its physical limits with current technol... |
