Artificial intelligence is increasingly ubiquitous across tech and broader society. While incredibly powerful, the energy demands of operating deep-learning networks on traditional von Neumann computers are spiralling unsustainably - limiting scalability and presenting a barrier to zero-carbon futures[1]. A huge reason for this is that existing computing architectures look nothing like the brain, and as […]

The current revolution in quantum technologies relies on coherently linking quantum objects like quantum bits (“qubits”). Coherent magnonic excitations of low-loss magnetic materials can wire together these qubits for sensing, memory, and computing. Coherent magnonics may reduce the size of superconducting qubits (which otherwise struggle with the large scale of microwave excitations) and may increase […]
Electric manipulation of magnetization is essential for the integration of magnetic functionalities in integrated circuits. Spin-orbit torque (SOT), originating from the coupling of electron spin and orbital motion through spin-orbital interaction, can effectively manipulate magnetization. Symmetry breaking plays an important role in spintronics based on SOT. SOT requires inversion asymmetry in order to have a […]

Current microMRI uses large superconducting magnets (> 7T) and can obtain a resolution of approximately 2 to 20 micrometers. However, microMRI systems cannot resolve cells or compete with optical techniques required for pathology and personalized medicine applications. Point-of-use hyperpolarization systems can provide both enhanced signal and contrast enabling microMRI of small samples such as tumor […]
