MIT scientists have tackled key obstacles to bringing 2D magnetic materials into practical use, setting the stage for the next generation of energy-efficient computers.

A team of researchers was able to generate electron spin domains without the need of magnetic fields on perfectly ordered materials at extremely low temperatures.

Reversible system can flip the magnetic orientation of particles with a small voltage; could lead to faster data storage and smaller sensors.

Newly synthesized compound of iron and tin atoms in 1-to-1 ratio displays unique behavior.

Circuit design offers a path to “spintronic” devices that use little electricity and generate practically no heat.

Researchers have found that certain organic semiconducting materials can transport spin faster than they conduct charge, a phenomenon which could eventually power faster, more energy-efficient computers. 

Sound waves could help get quantum technology closer to reality, researchers say.

A new testing ground for quantum systems could offer insights into spintronics, which could revolutionize computing.

MIT researchers show how to make and drive nanoscale magnetic quasi-particles known as skyrmions for spintronic memory devices.

A spintronic memory device that uses ferrimagnets could accelerate the commercial growth of spin-based memory.
