Researchers at Aalto University have developed a new device for spintronics. The results have been published in the journal
Nature Communications, and mark a step towards the goal of using spintronics to make computer chips and devices for data processing and communication technology that are small and powerful.
Traditional electronics uses electrical charge to carry out computations that power most of our day-to-day technology. However, engineers are unable to make electronics do calculations faster, as moving charge creates heat, and we re at the limits of how small and fast chips can get before overheating. Because electronics can t be made smaller, there are concerns that computers won t be able to get more powerful and cheaper at the same rate they have been for the past 7 decades. This is where spintronics comes in.

Finnish Biomedical Imaging Node Accepted to Euro-BioImaging Research Infrastructure
Finnish Biomedical Imaging Node FiBI has been accepted as a service-providing Node to the pan-European Euro-BioImaging consortium for imaging technologies. The new Node improves the prerequisites for conducting high quality research and increases the researchers’ opportunities for international collaboration.
Euro-BioImaging is European Research Infrastructure Consortium for the top imaging communities in Europe, with 16 member countries and 25 Nodes. Euro-BioImaging offers both academic and industrial researchers open access to cutting-edge imaging technologies in biological and medical sciences. It also offers expertise as well as training and data management services for state of the art research.
