Spin current, that is, the flow of angular momentum without charge transfer, may be used in efficient spintronics devices. One problem is that spin current tends to decrease, owing to spin–orbit interaction. It is now shown that through interaction with spin waves it is possible to reverse this effect and enhance the spin current back.
