Electrons do more than carry charge — they spin, and they orbit. This orbital angular momentum is a hidden quantum property… and it might revolutionize electronics.

It's called orbitronics, and it could be the future of green electronics.

⚡A new theory reveals that orbital motion diffuses far more slowly than spin or charge, and that orbital + spin currents can even transform into each other.
🚀 A big step toward novel spintronic and orbitronic devices.

Chirality isn’t just for molecules—it’s shaping future electronics.

New results from Hagiwara, Kenta, et al.(2025) show that in chiral crystals like CoSi, it’s electron orbitals—not spin—that drive exotic behaviors.
