Based
on the magnetic properties of electrons,
could lead to advances such as M-RAM, or magneto resistive memory which will
retain data after power
is turned off. Boot-up time would be eliminated, and processing and storage
might be done in the same chip.
Quantum Spintronics, Magnetoelectronics, SpinElectronics.
Electronic
devices that exploit the spin
of electrons
as well as their charge. Unlike conventional electronics
which is based on number of charges and their energy,
and whose performance limited in speed and dissipation, spintronics is based
on the direction of electronspin,
and spincoupling,
and is capable of much higher speed at much lower power.
