Magnetic spin waves could slash computer energy consumption

Magnetic Spin Waves to Reduce Computer Energy Consumption

Researchers are developing magnonic processors that use magnetic spin waves instead of electric current to process data, potentially reducing energy consumption by 90%.

Rachel Brazil discovers how this technology could offer new possibilities for neuromorphic computing, as reported by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

If magnonics takes off, future generations may never experience the feeling of panic when your phone battery gets down to 10%.

This innovation could enable the processing of huge amounts of data using very little energy, via magnetic spin-waves instead of electric current.

Author's summary: Magnonic processors may reduce energy consumption by 90%.
