First-Ever Wireless Device Developed to Make Magnetism Appear in Non-Magnetic Materials

March 5, 2024 Editorial Staff Comments Off on First-Ever Wireless Device Developed to Make Magnetism Appear in Non-Magnetic Materials

Researchers at the UAB and ICMAB-CSIC have succeeded in bringing wireless technology to the fundamental level of magnetic devices. The emergence and control of magnetic properties in cobalt nitride layers (initially non-magnetic) by voltage, without connecting the sample to electrical wiring represents a paradigm shift that can facilitate the creation of magnetic nanorobots for biomedicine and computing systems where basic information management processes do not require wiring. Part of the experiments were performed at BOREAS beamline of the ALBA Synchrotron. […]

A Magnetic Nano-Elevator for Three Dimensional Spintronic Devices

October 13, 2022 Editorial Staff Comments Off on A Magnetic Nano-Elevator for Three Dimensional Spintronic Devices

Information technologies will be responsible for about 20% of electricity consumption worldwide by 2025, which urgently requires the development of new types of greener nanoelectronic devices. Spintronics, making use of not only the charge of electrons but also of its intrinsic angular momentum (its spin) is an emerging technology that can overcome some of these challenges […]
