«Although some aspects of
normal state spin electronics, or spintronics, are more efficient than standard semiconductor electronics, the large - scale application has been prevented because the large charge currents required to generate spin currents waste too much energy,» said Professor Mark Blamire of Cambridge's Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, who led the research.

Now, the same researchers have found a set of materials which encourage the pairing of
spin - aligned electrons, so that a
spin current flows more effectively in the superconducting
state than in the non-superconducting (
normal)
state.
«The surprising result was that when we added a platinum layer to the superconductor, the
spin current in the superconducting
state was greater than in the
normal state.»
Talking heads on cable TV and AM radio will not be able to
spin their way out of money that would have been better used to create jobs or provide the
