Japanese researchers have discovered that electrons will rearrange themselves according to their spins if one side of a magnetized nickel-iron rod is heated up. This “spin-Seebeck” effect could give way to magnetic batteries that will be useful in the development of spintronics devices. Such devices use magnetic currents to reduce overheating in computer chips.
