1. Delft University of Technology rotates electron spin with electric field
   11-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers at the Delft University of Technology’s Kavli Institute of Nanoscience and the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter have succeeded in controlling the spin of a single electron merely by using electric fields. This clears the way for a much simpler realization of the building blocks of a (future) super-fast quantum computer. The scientists will publish their work in Science Express on Thursday, Nov. 1.

   10-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
   In a rapid follow-up to their achievement as the first to demonstrate how an electron's spin can be electrically injected, controlled and detected in silicon, electrical engineers from the University of Delaware and Cambridge NanoTech now show that this quantum property can be transported a marathon distance in the world of microelectronics -- through an entire silicon wafer. The finding confirms that silicon -- the workhorse material of present-day electronics -- now can be harnessed up for new-age spintronics applications.
