Germanium: spin transistors just over the horizon

INAC recently made a significant advance toward using spin-orbit coupling in transistors as the result of research conducted in conjunction with CNRS Palaiseau and Jülich Research Center of Germany.

As its name indicates, spin-orbit coupling “couples” an electron’s momentum and spin. A new type of MRAM (magnetoresistive RAM) memory potentially capable of pushing back current limits could leverage spin-orbit coupling to multiply the pathways the electrical current can follow during the...
