A promising technology that involves controlling light with magnets could improve the speed and reduce the juice requirements of future computer chips. The technology, developed by researchers at the U.S. Navy Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., and the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, combines knowledge from two budding research fields — plasmonics and spintronics — that may open the door to future development of small, fast electronic devices with low power consumption requirements.
