"Graphene Spintronics: A Revolutionary Leap in Electronic Advancements"
Physicists at the National University of Singapore have made a significant advance in the field of graphene spintronics by demonstrating robust spin-polarisation in graphene when placed on a ferrimagnetic insulating oxide. This breakthrough, which allows for large and tunable spin-splitting energy, could lead to the development of low-power electronics by utilizing the spin of electrons rather than their charge, potentially overcoming the issue of Joule heating in modern devices. The research, validated through experiments and theoretical support, also highlights the use of artificial intelligence in materials science and paves the way for future applications in 2D spin-logic circuitry and magnetic memory/sensory devices.
