Now, a research team at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden are the first to make a device made of a two-dimensional magnetic quantum material work in room temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s rapid IT expansion generates enormous amounts of digital data that needs to be stored, processed, and communicated. This comes with an ever-increasing need for energy\u2014projected to consume more than 30% of the world\u2019s total energy consumption by 2050. To combat the problem, the research community has entered a new paradigm in <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/tags\/materials+science\/\" rel=\"tag\" class=\"\">materials science<\/a>. The research and development of two-dimensional quantum materials, that form in sheets and are only a few atoms thick, have opened new doors for sustainable, faster and more energy-efficient data storage and processing in computers and mobiles.<\/p>\n<p>The first atomically thin material to be isolated in a laboratory was graphene, a single atom-thick plane of graphite, that resulted in the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics. And in 2017, two-dimensional materials with magnetic properties were discovered for the first time. Magnets play a fundamental role in our everyday lives, from sensors in our cars and home appliances to <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/tags\/computer+data+storage\/\" rel=\"tag\" class=\"\">computer data storage<\/a> and memory technologies, and the discovery opened for new and more <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/tags\/sustainable+solutions\/\" rel=\"tag\" class=\"\">sustainable solutions<\/a> for a wide range of technology devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The discovery of new quantum materials with magnetic properties could pave the way for ultra-fast and considerably more energy-efficient computers and mobile devices.
