In November 2015 Prof Albert Fert visited ICN2. We had the opportunity to interview him and record his ICN2 Manuel Cardona Lecture entitled "Spin-orbitronics, a new direction for spintronics". Interacting with him is a gift for curious minds. Now you can watch on YouTube both his highly specialised talk and a relaxed interview. We hope you enjoy it!
Prof Albert Fert, Emeritus Professor at Université Paris-Sud (France), Scientific Director of Unité Mixte de Physique CNRS/Thales (France) and Member of the ICN2 Scientific Advisory Board, visited ICN2 in November 11, 2015. He offered an ICN2 Manuel Cardona Lecture entitled "Spin-orbitronics, a new direction for spintronics", where the latest advances regarding magnetic skyrmions and the Spin-Orbit Coupling were reviewed. The Lecture was presented by Prof Pablo Ordejón, the Director of ICN2.
