"Spintronics" is a new class of electronics where charge and spin are utilized. A pure spin current, flow of spin without charge current, is one of the important physical quantities in its field, which could play an essential role in low energy consumption electronics of the next generation.A group of researchers in Japan and France succeeded in detecting magnetic fluctuations with pure spin current in a much more sensitive way than conventional magnetization measurements.
