Spin is a fundamental quantum property that influences a range of physical and chemical phenomena associated with it. Using a material’s spin property to carry current has applications in transferring data at much higher speed, for example, and achieves better energy efficiency than traditional devices that rely on electrical charges. However, this requires a material that can generate long-lived pure spin current with high efficiency.
