JGU physicists discovered that canted antiferromagnets are suitable for transporting spin waves over long distances. This offers a whole new class of materials, which allow for magnon transport in insulating system. These materials have the potential to significantly increase computing speed compared to existing devices and at the same time greatly reduce waste heat.
