In spintronics, the magnetic moment of electrons is used to transfer and manipulate information. An ultra-compact 2D spin-logic circuitry could be built from 2D materials that can transport the spin ...

Scientists from TU Delft (The Netherlands) have observed quantum spin currents in graphene for the first time without using magnetic fields. These currents are vital for spintronics, a faster and more ...

Graphene is incredibly strong, lightweight, conductive … the list of its superlative properties goes on. It is not, however, magnetic — a shortcoming that has stunted its usefulness in spintronics, an ...
