Spintronics aims to represent digital information using spin orientation rather than electron charge, ideally at room temperature and in silicon, which is already ubiquitous in present-day technologies. But so far successful control of spin has only been achieved for electrons and at low temperatures. Now room-temperature injection, manipulation and detection of spin polarization of both electrons and their positively charged counterparts (holes) brings the realization of silicon spintronic devices closer.
