2-D spintronics has already transformed computing - now we`re making it work in three dimensions

Spintronics might not be the sort of word that comes up in everyday discussions, but it has been revolutionising computer technology for years. It`s the branch of physics that involves manipulating the spin of a flow of electrons, which first reached consumers in the late 1990s in the form of magnetic computer hard drives with several hundreds of times the storage capacity of their predecessors.
