"Light-Speed Transfer: Electron Spin Transport from Earth to Mars"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists have developed a method to transfer spin information from electrons to photons using electrical pulses, enabling the transmission of polarized light signals over long distances at high speeds. This breakthrough in spintronics meets crucial criteria for practical applications and could revolutionize optical telecommunications, potentially enabling rapid communication between Earth and Mars, as well as advancing technologies such as optical quantum communication, neuromorphic computing, and ultrafast optical transmitters.
