Spintronics – an introduction

Spintronics, or “spin electronics”, is the study of the role of spin of electrons in solid state electronics. Solid state devices are based entirely on semiconductors, such as transistors and microprocessors, and contain no moving parts. The field of spintronics was established in the 1980s, following a number...

Everyday applications of nanotechnology

There are already a huge number of products on the market that make use of nanotechnology, the science of “engineering systems at a molecular scale”. Some uses of this technology appear in what are likely to be the products you would least expect! For example, the sports industry has made wide use of nanotechnology...

Introduction to nanotechnology

According to the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology, “nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale”. The idea is that we should soon be able to manipulate individual atoms and molecules to construct devices that are more powerful, more precise, lighter and stronger. These days,...
