Unfortunately, the spin only lasts for a very short time, making it difficult to exploit in electronics. Researchers from the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at TU Delft, working with the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research&#8217;s AMOLF institute, have now found a way to convert spin information into a predictable light signal at room temperature. The discovery brings the worlds of spintronics and nanophotonics closer together and might lead to the development of an energy-efficient way of processing data, in data centres, for example. The researchers have given an account of their results in Science.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spintronics is an emerging field in which the spin of electrons, rather than the charge, is used to process data.
