The race for copper

Researchers aim to launch the second revolution in the field of spintronics - and significantly increase the amount of memory in our electronic devices
A light source from a single atomic layer that separates and sorts the spins of the photons emitted from the two-dimensional semiconductor. This scientific discovery will make it possible to combine spintronics and spinoptics to develop a wide variety of devices on an atomic scale (Credit: Scholardesigner co., LTD

Atomic-scale spinoptics: chips of the future

Technion researchers have developed a smart light source based on a single atomic layer of material. The achievement will enable the development of new quantum applications in the field of computing and in other fields

Molecular spintronics - a new technology for quantum computing

The photonic big bang: weak disorder creates a weak nanometric separation between photons with opposite spin (red and blue) - "photonic spin-Hall effect". Only in complete disorder does the "photonic explosion" occur - photons with opposite spins split and fill the entire momentum space - the "photonic Rashba effect". The phenomenon describes a topological phase transition that manifests itself in symmetry breaking. The research was inspired by models in cosmology that describe the Big Bang. Silicon nanoantennas are depicted in the picture, and the transition from antennas ordered in their direction to complete disorder is expressed by measuring a sharp increase in entropy (as a measure of disorder).
