Twisted Magnets Point Towards Energy-Efficient Brain-Inspired Computing
- Researchers used chiral (twisted) magnets as a computational medium for energy-efficient, brain-inspired computing
- By changing magnetic field strength and temperature, they adapted the magnets' properties to suit different machine learning tasks
- Different magnetic phases of the chiral magnets excelled at different computing tasks like memory, transformation, and classification
- This approach brings us closer to sustainable and adaptable neuromorphic computing that requires less energy
- Next steps are identifying commercially viable materials and device architectures that can scale up this technology
