Researchers at the University of Bath in the U.K. have developed a new technique that could enable the extreme miniaturization of computing components.

The technique is enabled by a new type of magnetic tunnel junction ( MTJ ) A key enabling component for spintronics is the MTJ — two ferromagnetic layers separated by an insulating barrier.

By precisely controlling the current, the new technique can change the spin states in 2D magnets using the current's polarity and amplitude.
