The team achieved a 70% spin polarization efficiency—comparable to traditional magnetic methods—without magnets.
Chirality switching is electrochemically reversible, enabling on-demand control of spin currents.
Next steps include scaling the technique to industrial wafer sizes.
Spintronics could slash energy use in data centers, which currently consume 2% of global electricity.
Spintronic devices using this method could operate at 1/10th the energy of conventional electronics.
