Researchers find way to use sound waves to generate spin currents, opening path to low-power computing
Researchers at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), Mohali, have developed a theoretical framework that uses sound waves to generate and control spin currents, a finding that could help reduce energy consumption in future computing and communication technologies. The study, published in Physical Review B, explores a new approach in spintronics — a field that seeks to use the spin of particles, rather than the movement of electric charge, to process and transmit information. Sc...
