THEORETICAL PHYSICISTS at Stanford University and the University of Tokyo have predicted that it may be possible to vanquish dissipation--the mortal enemy of faster, denser ICs--for good. The researchers say they have discovered that the quantum "spin" of electrons can be transported without any loss of energy in common semiconductor materials at room temperature.

The application of an electric ...
