Spin Current Detection in Quantum Materials Unlocks Potential for Alternative Electronics

Caption

A new microscopy method developed by an ORNL-led team has four movable probing tips, is sensitive to the spin of moving electrons and produces high-resolution results. Using this approach, they observed the spin behavior of electrons on the surface of a quantum material.
