The merging of spintronics with organic RAM technology is demonstrated experimentally for the first time with the multipurpose device reported here. An unconventional configuration sandwiching a π‐conjugated organic semiconductor between two ferromagnetic electrodes (see figure) allows two different, unrelated physical effects to be superimposed. The novel single‐cell device shows both magnetoresistance and nonvolatile electric memory.
