Future Devices Powered by Spin

WELCOME

Welcome to Yuasa Laboratory

Creating the Future with Spintronics

Our purpose is to create new devices by utilizing Spintronics of the magnetic materials. The Internet of Things (IoT) society is ready to spread throughout the world, connecting not only electronic information but also things and people.

Because both the quality and quantity of IoT electronic devices are required to be higher than ever before, more innovative technologies are needed and studied in various scientific fields. Spintronics of magnetic materials is one of the candidates. In spintronics, the spin plays an important role as well as the electron. This is why spintronics has the potential to realize green devices without Joule energy loss.

Now is the perfect time to study spintronics toward the future of electronic devices in order to contribute to a better future society.
