The ability to control electron spin could reshape multiple sectors of clean energy. In hydrogen production, spin-regulated catalysts make oxygen evolution reactions more efficient and cost-effective.

While single electron spins are insufficient to build quantum devices, this experiment is a reasonable proof-of-principle, and shows how multi-spin systems could be developed.

The first, known as a “holon”, would bear the electron’s negative charge, while the second “spinon” particle would carry its spin. Anderson later suggested that this spin-charge separation might ...

Transitions between the spin states of the qubits are done by using the STM tip to apply radio-frequency pulses to the system – a technique called electron spin resonance. Addressed and manipulated ...
