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 ...

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 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 ...

David Reilly and his University of Sidney team developed a silicon chip that can control spin qubits at milli-kelvin temperatures. That’s just slightly above absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius), ...

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 ...

A new spin on one of the 20th century's smallest but grandest inventions, the transistor, could help feed the world's ever-growing appetite for digital memory while slicing up to 5% of the energy from ...

A technical paper titled “Anisotropic exchange interaction of two hole-spin qubits” was published by researchers at University of Basel and IBM Research Europe-Zurich. “Semiconductor spin qubits offer ...
