Spintronics and Computing Capacity

For more Science Videos: https://lt.org/ * The silicon-based technology that is used today to access and compute information is reaching its limits. To further improve computing capacity, this essentially two-dimensional technology, as STUART PARKIN puts it, needs to give way to the three-dimensional approach of spintronic devices that use not only electric current but also the spin of the electrons. In this video, he explains how the research team created a new type of storage device. * STUART PARKIN is Director of the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle/Salle, Germany, and Professor at the Institute of Physics of the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany. He is also an IBM Fellow (IBM’s highest technical honor) and a Consulting Professor in the Department of Applied Physics at Stanford University. * For further information on STUART PARKIN and his research visit: http://dx.doi.org/10.21036/LTPUB10342 https://www.mpi-halle.mpg.de/NISE/director This LT Publication is divided into the following chapters: 0:00 Question 0:52 Method 2:46 Findings 7:04 Relevance 8:49 Outlook
