Data is growing at a staggering pace, pushing charge-based microelectronics, such as smartphones and laptops, to their physical limits. Spintronics—technology that uses electron spin rather than charge—avoids the limits of conventional electronics by switching information with very little energy, holding states without power and enabling extremely dense data storage.
