Artificial intelligence is transforming how information is generated, processed and stored, but its rapid expansion is also driving unprecedented demand for computing power and electricity. Developing hardware that can process information more efficiently is therefore becoming one of the major technological challenges of the AI era.
Researchers from an international collaboration involving the University of Edinburgh have demonstrated a new approach to brain-inspired computing based on tiny magnetic structures known as skyrmions. The research, published in Advanced Materials, shows how collective transformations of these magnetic structures can be used to create reliable artificial synapses that operate at room temperature.
