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
