  The past decade has been especially creative for spintronics since the
(re)discovery of various two dimensional (2D) materials. Due to the unusual
physical characteristics, 2D materials have provided new platforms to probe the
spin interaction with other degrees of freedom for electrons, as well as to be
used for novel spintronics applications. This review briefly presents the most
important recent and ongoing research for spintronics in 2D materials.
