Current chip technology relies on the charges of electrons in circuitry, explains Mike Ross, a spokesperson for IBM's Almaden Research Center. Spintronics uses the quantum "spin" property of electrons to create magnetism, just as an electron's negative charge property creates electricity.

IBM and Stanford University are putting their heads together on a new microelectronics technology dubbed "spintronics" that promises breakthroughs in computer processors and other electronics components while extending Moore's Law for chip design.
