Spintronics is a form of hardware technology that utilizes the spin of electrons to store and process information. It is based on the spin-dependent transport of electrons in magnetic materials, and is used to create devices that are faster, smaller, and more energy efficient than traditional electronics. Spintronics has been used in a variety of applications, including magnetic random access memory (MRAM), magnetic sensors, and spin-torque transfer (STT) devices. MRAM is a type of non-volatile memory that stores data using magnetic fields, and is used in a variety of applications, such as embedded systems, automotive electronics, and consumer electronics. Magnetic sensors are used to detect changes in magnetic fields, and are used in a variety of applications, such as navigation systems, medical imaging, and industrial automation. STT devices are used to transfer spin-polarized currents, and are used in a variety of applications, such as data storage and logic operations. Some companies in the spintronics market include Everspin Technologies, Spin Transfer Technologies, Crocus Technology, and Spin Memory. Show Less Read more
