Conductive organic polymers are used in organic‐based light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). It is expected that by controlling the spin of the electrons that are injected from and into these devices, their energy efficiency will increase significantly. The work by C. Fontanesi, R. Naaman, and co‐workers on page 1924 shows that the polymers themselves can serve as a spin filter, and this may allow the operation of spin‐OLEDs without any magnetic component.
