#MATERIALS: "Spintronics for Silicon Approaching"

Spintronic enables atom-scale nonvolatile circuitry that remembers its state even when turned off. Until now spintronic materials have not been silicon compatible. But now a new class of dilute magnetic semiconductors could fit the bill, eanbling ultra-dense ulra-low-low power circuitry not otherwise possible today: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog
