A mini-antenna for the data processing of tomorrow: Short-wavelength spin waves generated directly for the first time

With the rapid advance of miniaturization, data processing using electric currents faces tough challenges, some of which are insurmountable. Magnetic spin waves are a promising alternative for the transfer of information in even more compact chips. Scientists have now succeeded in generating spin waves with extremely short wavelengths in the nanometer range — a key feature for their future application.
