From a fundamental perspective, the interplay between the spin and charge of the electron and the interaction of the spin with its solid-state environment provide a unique opportunity to study the quantum nature of matter. This Insight provides a compact, yet comprehensive overview of a selection of topics in spintronics that have rapidly developed in the past few years.
