Spin with a new twist
10 October 2014Scientists have successfully demonstrated a new way to control the 鈥渟pin鈥 of an electron 鈥 the natural intrinsic angular momentum of electrons which could underpin faster computing in the future. 探花直播technique counterintuitively makes use of the ever-changing magnetic field of the electron鈥檚 environment - one of the main obstacles to traditional methods of spin control.
