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, as discovered by Rachel Brazil.

This technology could potentially reduce energy consumption by 90% and offer new possibilities for neuromorphic computing.

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

We will be able to process 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%.
