OREANDA-NEWS The development of a new alloy will help improve computer performance by creating microcircuits that use the quantum properties of electrons. This is the conclusion reached by ChelSU scientists, a study published in the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials.

The work is devoted to the development of a unique four—component alloy based on Geisler alloys with high spin polarization, a key parameter for creating efficient spintronic devices. Oksana Pavlukhina, associate professor of the Department of Radiophysics and Electronics at ChelSU, said that calculations showed that the alloy, where gallium and arsenic are partially mixed, exhibits stable semi-metallic behavior with one hundred percent spin polarization.

Earlier it was reported that researchers from the Sirius University of Science and Technology have presented a technology that could be a breakthrough in the gene therapy of hereditary diseases. Scientists have proposed to break such genes into parts and "assemble" them back inside the cell using special proteins — inteins.
