Researchers from the UK and Switzerland have shown that a magnetically polarized current can be manipulated by electric fields. This is the first time that it was shown how you can proactively control spin with electric fields and could pave the way towards combining memory and processing power on the same chip.
The interesting part is that this discovery has been made with flexible organic semiconductors, and so could offer a step-change in the power efficiency and weight of devices based on such materials, including of course OLED displays.

if this sounds like a bunch of nonsense, it is because it IS a bunch of nonsense...
this is merely repeating the misreporting of another news source. If you check the links of every source you eventually get to:
http://www.physorg.com/news/2010-12-elusive-spintronics-success-chip-memory.html
which got their info from a print publication by a university (aka, it is once removed from the true source). The wording and explanations they use are far more coherent to anyone who understands physics.
