University of Minnesota Spin Technology Center

awarded

The University of Minnesota Twin Cities, in collaboration with Polar Semiconductor and Honeywell Aerospace, is establishing a first-of-its-kind academic-industry Spin Technology Center to advance the state's growing microelectronics and semiconductor industry. The center will develop quantum spintronic devices focusing on high-tech magnetic sensors and advanced memory storage, aiming to create microchips and sensors that are faster, more powerful, and significantly more energy efficient. It will also provide specialized coursework and hands-on research opportunities for students and training for industry partners.
