Physicists have moved a step closer to creating a new generation of
"spintronic" devices that exploit the spin of electrons as well as their
charge. Jing Shi and colleagues at the University of Utah in the US have
made the first organic "spin valve" - a device that changes resistance
depending on the applied magnetic field. Previous spin valves were made
from metals or insulators (Z Xiong et al. 2004 Nature 427 821).
