ITHACA, New York, June 11 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
Electrons are very much at the mercy of magnetic fields, which scientists can manipulate to control the electrons and their angular momentum - i.e. their "spin."
A Cornell team led by Greg Fuchs, assistant professor of applied and engineering physics in the College of Engineering, in 2013 invented a new way to exert this control by using acoustic waves generated by mechanical resonators . . .
