Spintronics
Microelectronic devices that function by using the spin of the electron are a nascent multibillion-dollar industry--and may lead to quantum microchips. As rapid progress in the miniaturization of semiconductor electronic devices leads toward chip features smaller than 100 nanometers in size, device engineers and physicists are inevitably faced with the looming presence of quantum mechanics--that counterintuitive and sometimes mysterious realm of physics wherein wavelike properties dominate the behavior of electrons.
