In a move that may change the future of technology, researchers from UCLA University have succeeded in reaching a new technology that can redraw the processor of the processor industry, by developing semiconductors based on the rotation of the electron instead of its charge.
This promising technology, known as “Spintronics”, paves the way for smartphones and thinner laptops, cooler, and lasts for a longer time with one charge.
What is the technology of Spinteronx?
In traditional processors, the electrical current is used to move the shipments inside the slides, which causes high temperature generation and waste energy, while the technology of spintonx depends on a natural magnetic property of the electron known as “rotation” or “spin”, and here the data is processed through the direction of rotation instead of the actual movement of the shipment, and this method consumes less energy and produces less heat, which means higher efficiency and more performance Sustainability.
Magnetic challenge solution
The greatest challenge in Spinronics was always how semiconducting has sufficient magnetic properties to be practical, and here the contribution of the UCLA team highlights, and they managed to solve this problem by accumulating atomic layers of semiconductors with magnetic atoms, which led to raising the magnetic concentration within the materials to 50 %, or ten times what was previously possible.
The university asserts that this method has produced more than 20 new materials that are currently working to record patents.
Benefits exceed smartphones
In addition to improving the performance of phones and mobile devices, this technology may have a widespread effect in artificial intelligence data centers, which are exposed to increased criticism for its huge consumption of energy and water, and devices that depend on new processors may become more efficient and less dependent on costly cooling systems.
With regard to quantitative computing, the processors built on the semiconducts of the new magnetic conductors may reduce the need for high -decreased temperatures, which constitutes one of the biggest obstacles to the introduction of quantum computers into daily uses.
A coming revolution but not immediate
Although this technology is still in the preliminary development stages, and it is not expected to appear in the market several years ago, but its exciting horizons include smaller, more efficient, and less environmental impact, all thanks to the rethinking of the electron behavior itself.
