The convergence of spintronics and traditional semiconductor technology marks a critical juncture in the evolution of computing architectures, for which the development of foundation cells become indispensable. Here we discuss the current landscape of spintronics and propose a holistic co-design methodology to integrate spintronic devices into silicon platforms.

AbstractVisual information is important for accurate spatial coding and memory-guided navigation. As a crucial area for spatial cognition, the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) harbors diverse spatially tuned cells and functions as the major gateway relaying sensory inputs to the hippocampus containing place cells. However, how visual information enters the MEC has not been fully understood.

NEWS AND VIEWS 20 March 2024 Complex magnetic structures called skyrmions have been generated on a nanometre scale and controlled electrically — a promising step for fast, energy-efficient computer hardware systems that can store large amounts of data. Every electron has an intrinsic angular momentum known as its spin, and the direction of this spin — either up or down — is used to store the bits of information that make up hard-disk drives and magnetic tapes.

AbstractThe discovery of magnetic order in atomically-thin van der Waals materials has strengthened the alliance between spintronics and two-dimensional materials. An important use of magnetic two-dimensional materials in spintronic devices, which has not yet been demonstrated, would be for coherent spin injection via the spin-pumping effect. Here, we report spin pumping from Cr2Ge2Te6 into Pt or W and detection of the spin current by inverse spin Hall effect.
