Though scientists argue that the emerging technology of spintronics may trump conventional electronics for building the next generation of faster, smaller, more efficient computers and high-tech devices, no one has actually seen the spina quantum mechanical property of electronsin individual atoms until now.
Unlike electronic devices, which give off heat, spintronic-based devices are expected to experience less power dissipation.
The combination of atom manipulation and spin sensitivity gives a new perspective of constructing atomic-scale structures and investigating their magnetic properties, Kubetzka said.

I had mentioned molecular computers before. My first computer was an 8088 at 7 mega Hz. Now we have supercomputers with hundreds of cores.
Ain't science grand?
