Molecular spintronics amalgamates the quantum properties of molecular systems with spin-dependent transport in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), offering a pathway to novel device architectures for ...

Modern computers and memory chips rely on moving electric charges, but a new generation of technology called spintronics, aims to process information using the electron's spin instead. This could make ...

Chiral molecules, which have a helical structure, are known to interact with magnets in a phenomenon known as chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS). For instance, when a chiral molecule is ...

Researchers were able to demonstrate for the first time that non-covalent bonds between spin centers are also capable of producing quartet states through spin mixing. Supramolecular chemistry is thus ...

Indian researchers have discovered that cholesterol, a waxy molecule, can control electron spin, a property crucial for ...

In a first that could change how scientists study the building blocks of life, ETH Zurich researchers have shown that molecular ‘handedness’ is not just structural but also electronic. By using ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the Eindhoven University of Technology have developed an organic semiconductor that causes electrons to move in a spiral pattern. This semiconductor ...

Until now, research has assumed that the interaction between two spin centres can only be strong enough for successful quartet formation if the centres are covalently linked. Due to the high effort ...
