Unlocking Scalable Non-Volatile Memory
TS-076603 — High-Stability Junctions for Next-Gen Chips
As traditional silicon CMOS microprocessors hit severe thermal limits, spintronics has emerged as the premier non-volatile alternative—encoding data using electron spin rather than charge to cut power drain. While spintronic systems like Magnesium Oxide (MgO )-based MRAM have successfully pr…
