Abstract
For nearly two decades physicists have been learning to incorporate spin into conventional electronics. Now they may be one step closer to devices that use only flow of spins, but not of charges.

A key element in spintronics is the spin-transfer effect, by which the magnetization in a nanomagnet can be switched. The effect has already been demonstrated using spin-polarized electrical currents, but now reversible magnetization switching has been achieved using a pure, chargeless spin current.
