Just in time for our studies of electron mechanics!

OHIO: Research | Physicists capture first images of atomic spin: “Though scientists argue that the emerging technology of spintronics may trump conventional electronics for building the next generation of faster, smaller, more efficient computers and high-tech devices, no one has actually seen the spin—a quantum mechanical property of electrons—in individual atoms until now.”

Exciting news.
