Spintronics-Info - Page 2

We are happy to invite all our readers to follow the new Spintronics-Info LinkedIn company page. LinkedIn is a great place to meet and find new professionals. If you follow the new company page, you will get spintronics updates directly to your feed, and also be able to connect to other spintronics professionals.

In addition to the company page, we have also setup a new Spintronics interest group - which will hopefully become a new forum for discussions and an exchange of knowledge, news and opinions. All focused on Spintronics, of course. Join our new group now!

Spintronics-Info has been providing objective and up-to-date spintronics market news, as well as in-depth articles and commentary for over 10 years. We are now happy to offer the opportunity to embed our spintronics news directly in your web site, at no cost.

If you're looking to enrich the experience of your web site visitors, our market news can grant them a glimpse into spintronics technology, news and market status.

We are happy to announce a new Metalgrass knowledge hub, RRAM-Info.com, that focuses on RRAM, or Resistive RAM technology. RRAM is a promising next-generation storage-memory candidate, based on memristors - materials that change their resistance.

RRAM-Info will bring you daily news, commentary and updates about RRAM memory technologies. You can subscribe to our weekly RRAM newsletter here - and if you have not done so already, be sure to also subscribe to the free spintronics newsletter!

Today we're happy to finally finish the re-design effort we started in November last year, and Spintronics-Info now has a new logo and background, to complement the new responsive design. We like it a lot, we hope you do too! :-)

Here's for a happy 2016, one with exciting and positive Spintronics news!

2015 is pretty much over - and this has been another interesting year for the Spintronics research community. Here are the top 10 stories posted on Spintronics-Info in 2015, ranked by popularity (i.e. how many people read the story):

Today we launched Spintronics-Info's new design. The changes are not dramatic, but we changed some of the menu system, made the site (hopefully) cleaner and more modern. Most importantly, this design is now mobile-friendly and should prove easier to read on smartphones.

We hope this design will make the site nicer and easier to read, we'll be happy to hear your thoughts and comments!

Today we launched our very own twitter account. So now anyone can follow us on twitter to get all spintronics news directly to his feed. Just click here for our twitter page.

If you want to stay updated on spintronics news, you can also of course get our weekly newsletter or follow us on Facebook or LinkedIn.

I'm happy to announce that Spintronics-Info's infrastructure was updated today. Spintronics-Info is based on the open-source Drupal CMS, and we updated from version 6 to version 7. As a reader you will not find many differences, but hopefully it will enable a more stable, safe and quick web site.

If you do find any bugs or glitches, please let us know.

2013 is soon over, and it is time for our end-of-the year post. Here are the top 10 stories posted on Spintronics-Info in the past year, ranked by popularity:
