The power of randomization: Magnetic skyrmions for novel computer technology

First steps towards a practical application for magnetic skyrmions

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have succeeded in developing a key constituent of a novel unconventional computing concept. This constituent employs the same magnetic structures that are being researched in connection with storing electronic data on shift registers known as racetracks.
