Spins take their time to relax

Engineers have discovered that the spin of electrons in organic nanowire "spin valves" is extremely robust. A team of researchers have found that the "spin-relaxation time" in these wires is at least 1000 times longer than that reported in any other system. The result means that these materials could be ideal for use in spintronics, an emerging field that exploits the spin of the electron to encode information in electronic circuits, computers and other devices .
