Argonne Researchers: Tiny Magnetic ‘Whirlpools’ Could Be Game Changer for HPC Memory Technology

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are investigating the possibility that tiny magnetic whirlpools called skyrmions," which are magnetic vortices as tiny as billionths of a meter, could transform memory storage in future high performance computers. Skyrmions, the Argonne researchers say, show characteristics that could overcome the shortcomings of microscopic [...]
