Observation of the rotation structure in magic angle graphene

Brown University researchers and collaborators have found a way to directly observe electron spin in 2D materials such as graphene, a property previously difficult to measure in such materials. The team used a new technique to detect small changes in electronic resistance, paving the way for advances in quantum computing and communication technologies. Credit: Jia … Read more

First light on orbitronics as a valid alternative to electronics

Nearly two decades ago, physicists detected a phenomenon known as the Spin Hall effect1,2, in which an electric field separates electrons in a material based on their intrinsic angular momentum, or spin. This discovery stimulated the field of spintronics, which is a branch of electronics that uses spin and electric charge to transfer and store … Read more
