Spintronics:

Optical Materials and Plasmonics : Spintronics exploits electron spin and magnetic moment for faster, efficient data processing, enhancing memory technologies like MRAM. Optical materials, such as glass, crystals, polymers, and semiconductors, manipulate light in telecommunications, medical imaging, and photonics. They drive advancements in high-speed internet, laser surgery, and solar cells by controlling light propagation and interaction. Plasmonics studies plasmons—collective electron oscillations on metallic surfaces—creating intense nanoscale electromagnetic fields. Applications include highly sensitive biosensors, enhanced photovoltaic cells, and ultra-compact optical devices. Plasmonics bridges photonics and electronics, advancing nano-optics and photonic circuits. These fields collectively propel innovations across information technology, healthcare, and energy sectors
