Abstract
The future of computing might just come down to the honeycomb. Researchers have pushed graphene´s ability to carry information using the spin of electrons to record distances. The results mean that the material-composed of honeycomb-like sheets of carbon atoms-may be ideal for future devices that use spin instead of electrical current to perform computations and carry signals.
