Skyrmions are incredibly small and provide significant advantages in storage density and energy efficiency over existing technologies. However, their slowness (previously it did not exceed 100 meters per second) prevented their practical use in computers.
A new study by an international team led by scientists from the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) has overcome this obstacle. By using a special type of material called an antiferromagnet as a medium, the researchers were able to propel skyrmions at significantly higher speeds.
This success opens the door to the development of next-generation computing devices. Skyrmion-based systems can provide superior performance while consuming less power than existing technologies.
