DESCRIPTION
In collaborative research out of Japan and Switzerland, scientists have taken an important step towards a next generation of analog computers by creating new types of logic gates based on spin waves. Spin waves are the waves generated when all the electrons in a system shift the alignment of their spins in one direction and at the same time.
