- The spin of the electron has attracted renewed interest because it promises a wide variety of new devices that combine logic, storage and sensor applications.
- Moreover, these "spintronic" devices might lead to quantum computers and quantum communication based on electronic solid-state devices, thus changing the perspective of information technology in the 21st century.
