The Spin on Electronics
Thursday 19th November
Quantum phyics has been responsible for many of the technological advances made in the last decade. Electronics is a special case where it is quite easy to point out examples of how an understanding of quantum physics has enabled new devices to be created. Professors SSP Parkin (IBM), G Aeppli (UCL) and B J Hickey (LEEDS) organised a Royal Society Discussion meeting on the 28-29 of September. The meeting brought together international researchers to discuss the latest developments in spintronics.
