Home Introduction Graphene-based Spintronics switch Tweet Technical Researchers from Germany , Russia and the USA managed to the conduction electrons' spin-orbit coupling in graphene by a factor of 10,000. Such a device could could enable a spintronics switch that is controlled by a small electric field . The switch will include two perpendicular spin filters that will be controlled by the electric . field To develop this , the researchers placed graphene on a nickel substrate in which atoms are separated by the same distance as the graphene's hexagonal meshes . They then deposited gold atoms on the device which ended up between the graphene and nickel . sheets Source : Graphene-Info Nov 29, 2012 Login register to post comments Tweet Similar entries Oxygen adsorption in graphene can be
The last issue of Journal of Materials Chemistry in its current form has been published online this week. Editor Dr Liz Dunn and Chair of the Editorial Board Professor Seth Marder give their thoughts on the past 22 years of Journal of Materials Chemistry and the exciting future of the journal in their Editorial ‘Here’s [...]
Dye-Sensitised Solar Cells (DSSCs) are a promising alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics and recently efficiencies over 12 % have been reported. Most DSSCs use organic solvents as liquid electrolyte as these have been reported to give the highest efficiencies. In this hot paper, O’Regan and co-workers have re-examined water as a solvent for use in DSSCs. [...]
, Home Introduction Everspin announces the world's first ST-MRAM chip , will ship in 2013 Tweet Memory Everspin announced that they are now sampling the world's first first ST Spin Torque MRAM chip . The EMD3D064M is a 64Mb DDR3 device , and select customers are already evaluation samples . Everspin is currently targeting the enterprise SSD market , to complement flash memory . Everspin is manufacturing the ST-MRAM chips on its 200mm production line in Chandler , Arizona and are working to establish 300 mm MRAM tools and additional fab capacity . The company expects the EMD3D064M to become available in 2013. Everspin's proprietary Spin-Torque technology uses a spin-polarized current for switching . Data is stored as a magnetic state versus an electronic charge , providing a non-volatile
A single-electron spin qubit on a phosphorous atom in a conventional silicon computer chip has been coherently manipulated, demonstrating the application of single atom nanotechnology to the development of a scalable platform for a quantum computer.
Most probiotic bacteria that are added to foods, such as yoghurt, to aid the digestive system are not reaching their intended target in the intestine. Instead, the majority are being destroyed in the stomach before they can do any good. Now, UK scientists have come up with a coating to overcome this problem.
Probiotics are bacteria [...]
The bacteria Gluconacetobacter xylinus produces cellulose that is highly crystalline and has a high degree of polymerisation. The cellulose can be converted into rod-like nanocrystals which have very high modulus and strength. A variety of nanocomposites can be prepared by incorporating cellulose nanocrystals with polymers to give materials with excellent properties. Silver nanoparticles are well [...]
