We live in an increasingly digital society, which constantly relies on data generation and exchange to function. In the past 10 years the amount of data produced has increased by 2500% and this trend is not destined to saturate due to the development of more data-intensive technologies such as artificial intelligence. Storing and processing this amount of data requires a lot of energy and Information Technologies (IT) have been pointed at as an increasingly heavy load on the World energy consumption and a potential threat to a greener economy. Spintronics is striving to realise localised, energy-efficient and fast magnetic memories that would match and exceed the standards of CMOS technology. In our group we search for new quantum-mechanical effects with the potential to transform non-volatile memory designs and make them better performing and greener.
