MIT scientists have tackled key obstacles to bringing 2D magnetic materials into practical use, setting the stage for the next generation of energy-efficient computers.

Reversible system can flip the magnetic orientation of particles with a small voltage; could lead to faster data storage and smaller sensors.

Newly synthesized compound of iron and tin atoms in 1-to-1 ratio displays unique behavior.

Circuit design offers a path to “spintronic” devices that use little electricity and generate practically no heat.

MIT researchers show how to make and drive nanoscale magnetic quasi-particles known as skyrmions for spintronic memory devices.

Innovative approach to controlling magnetism could lead to next-generation memory and logic devices.
