Spin waves are ripples of magnetization in a magnetic material that can carry information with far less heat than moving electrons, making them promising for reduced-energy computing. However, spin waves weaken quickly as they travel, especially when a waveguide is bent. This signal loss has long been the biggest obstacle to building practical spin wave circuits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A research team from Tohoku University, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., and \u00c9cole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne (EPFL) has invented a new way to efficiently guide spin waves around sharp corners with minimal loss\u2014representing an exciting discovery for energy-efficient computing.
