New Method Unlocks Pure Information Currents in Silicene
Physicists have theoretically proposed a novel method to inject pure 'spin' and 'valley' currents into silicene, a cousin of graphene. By precisely controlling electric and magnetic fields across a specialised junction, they can generate these information-carrying currents without any accompanying electrical charge, paving the way for more efficient electronic devices.
