  • This battery self-destructs: Biodegradable power inspired by 'Mission: Impossible'
    Scientists at Binghamton University are bringing a sci-fi fantasy to life by developing tiny batteries that vanish after use inspired by Mission: Impossible. Led by Professor Seokheun Choi, the team is tackling one of the trickiest parts of biodegradable electronics: the power source. Instead of using toxic materials, they re exploring probiotics friendly bacteria often […]
  • Scientists freeze quantum motion using ultrafast laser trick
    Harvard and PSI scientists have managed to freeze normally fleeting quantum states in time, creating a pathway to control them using pure electronic tricks and laser precision.
  • Researchers develop recyclable, healable electronics
    Electronics often get thrown away after use because recycling them requires extensive work for little payoff. Researchers have now found a way to change the game.
  • Ultra-thin lenses that make infrared light visible
    Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light.
  • Discovery could boost solid-state battery performance
    Researchers have discovered that the mixing of small particles between two solid electrolytes can generate an effect called a 'space charge layer,' an accumulation of electric charge at the interface between the two materials. The finding could aid the development of batteries with solid electrolytes, called solid-state batteries, for applications including mobile devices and electric […]
  • Engineers develop self-healing muscle for robots
    Students recently unveiled their invention of a robotic actuator -- the 'muscle' that converts energy into a robot's physical movement -- that has the ability to detect punctures or pressure, heal the injury and repair its damage-detecting 'skin.'

Spin pumping: An Introductory Overview

With STT, we have seen that a current can move magnetization, but the reciprocal effect is also possible, namely the generation of a spin current by magnetization motion. This phenomenon is called spin pumping and it is essential for developing spintronic devices, which utilize the spin of electrons rather than ...

Spin-Transfer Torque: An Introductory Overview

Next to the charge, electrons also posses spins. In normal electronic circuits it is of (hardly) no use, as they are orientated randomly in non-ferromagnetic materials. However, when we integrate ferromagnetic components into these devices, the itinerant electrons can become partially spin polarized, with their spins taking on a more ...
