DESCRIPTION:Prof. Albert Fert - UMP CNRS/Thales\, Palaiseau and univ. Pari
 s-Sud\nSpintronics exploits the influence of the electron spin orientation
  on electronic transport. It is mainly known for the “giant magnetoresis
 tance” (GMR) and the large increase of the hard disc capacity obtained w
 ith read heads based on the GMR\, but it has also revealed many other inte
 resting effects. Today spintronics is developing along many novel directio
 ns with promising prospects as well for short term applications as for the
  “beyond CMOS” perspective. After an introduction on the fundamentals 
 of spintronics\, I will review some of the most interesting emerging direc
 tions of today: spin transfer and its applications to STT-RAMs or to micro
 wave generation\, spintronics with semiconductors\, graphene and carbon na
 notubes\, Spin Hall Effects\, neuromorphic devices etc.
