Ultrafast Light-Controlled Memory Breakthrough
Scientists have discovered a new way to store digital information using light and ferroaxials, a rare class of materials.
This breakthrough, published in Science, was conducted by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Germany and the University of Oxford.
- Researchers found that ferroaxial materials can be switched between two stable states using a single flash of polarized terahertz light.
- This form of light oscillates trillions of times per second, enabling data to be written and read at incredible speeds.
- The process does not require electricity or magnetism.
