    October 11, 2012 — Current electronic devices depend on manipulating charge. Alternative approaches may rely on not only charge but also the spin of electrons. This approach is known within scientific circles as “spintronics.” One of the significant hurdles to future spintronic devices is finding ways to manipulate the orientation of an electron spin without using magnetic fields.
