Faster and more energy efficient
This field, spintronics, forms the basis for a new type of information technology. It uses the electron’s spin and not the electron’s charge, as we’re used to in electronics. The applications of x-electronics are still marginal, but the potential possibilities are promising. Spintronics are much faster and more energy efficient than electronics, because there is hardly any power loss.

The main problem with x-electronics is that the signal propagating through the electron coils slowly decays. In 2017, Dwayne published a theoretical proposal to treat this extinction by signal amplification. This proposal uses the radioactive hawk concept of black holes, whose existence Stephen Hawking calculated in 1975. More than a year ago, Doyen and his colleagues at the Eindhoven University of Technology received support to carry out the proposal experimentally, thus constructing the equivalent of a black hole on a chip. Doyen hopes this system will act as an amplifier in the short term to solve the extinction problem.
