Project description
Magnetic skyrmions could change the future of computing
Skyrmions are swirling quasi-particles that look and behave like particles. They could revolutionise the fields of data storage, information processing and artificial intelligence. For example, their size, speed and stability could mean smaller and faster memory devices. Their nanoscale spin structures allow for room temperature computation and memory functions near thermodynamic limits while being robust against fabrication imperfections and stray magnetic fields. The EU-funded SKYNOLIMIT project plans to experimentally demonstrate ultra-wideband, ultralow-power and non-volatile logic circuit architectures that are based on magnetic skyrmions. The project's activities will focus on modelling and testing novel functional nanomaterials with giant spin–orbit coupling, skyrmion processors and skyrmion-based neural network hardware.
