ACS News Service Weekly PressPac -- August 23, 2006

t spintronics promises, from the near-term to that futuristic quantum computer, which would encode data as multiple quantum states in addition to the "1s" and "0s" of traditional binary computing.

Fulfilling the promise of advanced electronic devices with unprecedented capabilities will require overcoming major technical challenges, including synthesizing new magnetic semiconductors and other materials with properties suited for spintronics applications, the article notes.

ARTICLE #5 (EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE AT 9 A.M., AUG. 28, 2006): "Putting a spin on electronics: Potential for advanced technologies is driving search for magnetic semiconductors"

Special Event: Register Now for the Nanotechnology Media Tour

Many reporters who cover chemistry, materials science, medicine, health, environment and business closely follow the rapid-pace of innovation in nanotechnology. The American Chemical Society Office of Communications is offering a special event for news media who attend the American Chemical Society national meeting in San Francisco or who work in the Bay Area. On Sept. 12 we'll join nanotechnology pioneer, Paul Alivisatos, University of California, Berkeley, for a briefing and tour of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's new Molecular Foundry.

Alivisatos is a renowned researcher who edits the premier scientific journal in the field, Nano Letters, published by the American Chemical Society. We'll tour the Foundry -- a toolshop with instrumentation for nanotech research -- and hear presentations by scientists. After a Q&A session, we'll adjourn for a reception and a chance to chat informally about this exciting field of science. An e-mail (m_woods@acs
