In 2009 EPSRC announced £2m of new investment in the area of nanospintronics in a new partnership with the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). Matched funding from NSFC and a single peer review process ensured a truly collaborative activity. Spintronics is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of nanotechnology, important in both fundamental scientific research and industrial applications.
Nanospintronics has applications in areas such as data storage, microelectronics, sensors, quantum computing and bio-medicine.
