Discovery by UC Riverside physicists could enable development of faster computers

[B]Roland Kawakami's lab proposes a simple technique for controlling electron spin and current flow[/B]
Physicists at UC Riverside have made an accidental discovery in the lab that has potential to change how information in computers can be transported or stored. Dependent on the "spin" of electrons, a property electrons possess that makes them behave like tiny magnets, the discovery could help in the development of spin-based semiconductor technology such as ultrahigh-speed computers.
