ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Spintronic

Spintronics is like playing with tops! You know how a top spins and keeps spinning for a while? Scientists found a way to make tiny electronic devices that use something called "spin" to work. Spin is like the top's spin, but on a really small scale.

In these devices, the way the electrons are spinning helps them to carry more information and use less energy than regular electronic devices. It's like using a really good pencil instead of a regular one to write faster and with more detail.

Spintronic devices can be used in many different things, from making our phones work better to helping make new kinds of computers. So next time you see a spinning top, think about spintronics and how it's making our world better!
