Editorial If it's AI and robots you wanted from this series then this one is for you. Artificial Intelligence exists today, when this and other technologies merge the result will be more like Science Fiction than any PC. The technology will be fantastic, the possibilities endless. Get it wrong, the consequences dire.

what about 'spintronics'?

http://www.europhysicsnews.com/full/24/article9/article9.html

"In just a dozen of years, we have seen spintronics increasing considerably the capacity of hard disks and now getting ready to enter the RAM of computers. In the next decade, spintronics with semiconductors has the potential to gain an important place in the microelectronics industry. Another perspective, at longer term and out of the scope of this paper, is the exploitation of the truly quantum-mechanical nature of spin and the long spin-coherence time in confined geometry for quantum computing in an even more revolutionary application."
