Spintronics ("spin-based electronics" or magnetoelectronics) is an emergent technology that exploits both the charge and spin of an electron rather than utilizing charge as the sole basis for microelectronic devices. Spintronic devices are expected to be smaller, more versatile, and more robust than currently available silicon-based circuits. An emerging example is magnetic random access memory (MRAM) which is "non volatile" - no information is lost when the system power is turned off. A current estimate of the potential MRAM market is in excess of $100 billion annually. More distant applications exploit combinations of semiconductor, magnetic, and optical materials that may lead to ultra-fast switches, and "all spintronic" processors that would combine storage, processing, and communication on a single chip.

Spintronics（“基于自旋的电子”或Magnetoelectronics）是一种新兴技术，可利用电子的电荷和自旋，而不是利用电荷作为微电器设备的唯一基础。与当前可用的基于硅电路相比，Spintronic设备有望更小，更通用，更健壮。 一个新兴的示例是磁随机访问存储器（MRAM），它是“非挥发性” - 关闭系统功率时不会丢失信息。 当前对潜在MRAM市场的估计每年超过1000亿美元。 更遥远的应用利用了可能导致超快速开关的半导体，磁性和光学材料的组合，以及将在单个芯片上结合存储，处理和通信的“所有自旋”处理器。
