Spintronics-driven devices could generate less heat and require less power than conventional devices. > In the latest study, detailed in the May 23 online edition of the journal Advanced Materials, scientists working at Berkeley Lab's Molecular Foundry and Advanced Light Source (ALS) confirmed a chirality, or handedness, in the transition regions—called domain walls—between neighboring magnetic domains that have opposite spins.
