<p>An international team of scientists, led by a Princeton University group, has observed an exciting and strange behavior in electrons' spin within a new material that could be harnessed to transform computing and electronics.</p>
<p>"This discovery has the potential to transform electronics, data storage and computing," said Thomas Rieker, program director for the National Science Foundation's Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers. "The spin-sensitive measurement techniques developed here may shed light on other important fundamental questions in condensed matter physics such as the origin of high-temperature superconductivity."

<p>This is a very exciting advance in materials science and condensed matter physics. You can read about it in the latest issue of Science Magazine.</p>
<p>The physics department at Princeton has spawned numerous Nobel Prize winners and important discoveries. Undergraduates have the opportunity to work closely with the professors and be at the cutting edge of research in a department where there is one professor for every undergraduate!</p>
