Spintronics

Spintronics is a really neat phrase - an instant buzz-word.

Electrons' electro magnetic properties cause an interesting effect that you depend on. Absolutely.

It's called electricity and electric current is measured by the abundance, or lack, of electrons in the ferroelectric nucleus, better known as voltage or static charge.

Ferroelectric spintronics is, in turn, the method by which electric fields and photons change the properties of ferroelectric molecules.

IBM and Stanford University say they're going to jointly research "spintronics" and that their efforts could "one day end the irritating delay people experience when they turn on their computers".

Then you'd have figure out what to do with all those seconds you'd saved.

In the meanwhile, six years ago atomic holographic DVR disc drive inventor Michael Thomas filed for patents that were granted in 2000, setting a starting point for new plasmonic physics in motion - the first in the world.

IBM and Stanford University are thinking spintronics could lead to M-RAM - magnetic random access memory - among other things.
