"Electronic devices like phones, tablets, and laptops can contribute to the
worldwide problem of electronic waste, or e-waste. While experts are working to
make these devices more environmentally friendly, a new advancement at the
fundamental level of the electron could provide a much-needed solution. Enter
“Orbitronics.”

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland and the Max
Planck Institutes in Germany have found a way to harness a property of
electrons known as “orbital angular momentum,” which could open the door to a
whole new type of technology known as “orbitronics.” This result, which was
achieved using experiments conducted at the Swiss Light Source (SLS) and was
published in Nature Physics, could help make electronic devices of the future
more environmentally friendly."
