'Western' Spintronics Program Launched
Mar 13, 2006 — STANFORD, Calif., March 13, 2006 -- The University of California (UCLA), the University of California-Santa Barbara (UCSB), the University of California-Berkeley and Stanford University are teaming up to launch the Western Institute of Nanoelectronics, which they said will be one of the world's largest joint research programs focusing on "spintronics." Spintronics, which relies on the spin of an electron to carry information, holds promise for minimizing power consumption in electronics.
