2016 will soon come to an end, and we are getting ready to summarize another interesting spintronics year. One year ago we posted the top spintronics stories in 2015, and you can see the list below again:
- Researchers show SiC is a promising spintronics material
- Researchers created a zero-moment spin-polarized half metal for the first time
- Korean researchers managed to create a flexible film suitable for spintronics applications
- A new method introduces magnetism to graphene while preserving its electronics properties
- Spin-based memory cells can be trained to learn like a brain synapse
- Spin current shown to travel over half a micrometer in a thin doped germanium filmÂ
- Singapore allocates $3.7 million to support Spintronics research projects
- Researchers develop new promising low-symmetry crystal for spintronics applications
- Researchers discover that pure-spin current is possible in insulatorsÂ
- EU's Graphene Flagship is looking for a partner company for spintronics research
What will be the most popular spintronics stories in 2016? We will soon post our yearly review, stay tuned!
