spintronics, with GMR sensors holding a bulk of the market share in
commercial hard disk drives . Funding

have the potential to run hundreds of times faster or store thousands of
times more information than current electronic designs."
In other groundbreaking developments , the possibility of detecting spin
on something as minute as a single electron has reached new heights with the
discovery of a technique called magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM). Using this technique , they were able to read out the spin values

Perhaps spintronics' biggest potential lies in embedded memories.
Non-volatile memory devices such as magnetoresistive random access memory
