description: During the past decade, the process technologies driving improved fabrication of traditional electronic devices have allowed development of a number of electron spin, or spintronic, technologies. This 136-page Report, the product of first hand interviews and extensive research, provides executives, R&amp;D managers, and investors with an in-depth analysis of recent research and development in the burgeoning field known as "spintronics." Already a billion-dollar industry because of the development of a phenomenon known as giant magnetoresistance (GMR), progress at research laboratories in the United States, Europe, and Japan has energized an international race among scientists. The belief that spintronics may soon lead to significant gains in memory and processing power has IBM harnessing this technology for hard disks. As always Technical Insights' dynamic market forecasts provide you with the expert guidance needed for identifying lucrative markets, promising technologies, and specific business opportunities. This new Report is no exception, with forecasts of the major market segments, including magnetoelectronics, nanotechnology, optical MEMs and GMR isolators.
