A University of Utah-led team has discovered that a class of "miracle materials" called organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites could be a game changer for future spintronic devices that use the direction of the electron spin--either up or down--to carry information in 1s and 0s. The researchers discovered that the perovskites possess two contradictory properties necessary to make spintronic devices work.
