Superconducting spintronics may be about to transform high performance computing

Cambridge researchers have shown that energy-efficient superconductors can power super energy efficient spintronics devices. What once seemed an impossible marriage of superconductivity and spin may be about to transform high performance computing. In 2016, IBM found that humans now create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data daily. From the start of this decade to its end, …

Spintronic device that could eventually be 1000 times faster than current transistors

Researchers have designed a novel computing system made solely from carbon that might one day replace the silicon transistors that power today’s electronic devices. It is a spintronic device that could eventually operate as much as 1000 times faster than current processors. “The concept brings together an assortment of existing nanoscale technologies and combines them …
