"Record-breaking Speed: Antiskyrmions Pave the Way for Advanced Computing"
TL;DR
An international research team has found that magnetic nanobubbles called skyrmions can be moved by electrical currents at record speeds of up to 900 m/s, thanks to the use of an antiferromagnetic material as a medium. This discovery opens up new possibilities for developing higher-performance and less energy-intensive computing devices, as skyrmions are anticipated to be future bits in computer memory, offering enhanced avenues for information processing in electronic devices.
