COMET is an interdisciplinary research initiative exploring the intersection between computer architecture and nanomagnetism. The key focus of COMET is to discover new concepts for ultra-low-power computing systems based on emergent physical phenomena. Magnetic metamaterials have great potential as massively-parallel computing substrates, offering inherent energy efficiency and direct tunability at the nanoscale.
I'm finally a doctor! Last week I defended my thesis against my honorable opponents, professors Vassilios Kapaklis and Christopher Marrows. It was a blast! It took 10 tries to get everyone in the committee to look in the same camera, but just like my PhD, we got there in the end 👨🎓
Our latest research on "Clocked dynamics in artificial spin ice", has been published in Nature Communications! Interested in precisely flipping magnets without local access? Check it out https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-45319-7
Astroid clocking offers unprecedented control of metamaterial dynamics in both time and space, and is an important step towards neuromorphic magnetic computing devices. @COMET_NTNU@CAL_NTNU
In the paper, we introduce "astroid clocking" - a new method to control the dynamics of artificial spin ice, a family of nanomagnetic metamaterials. We demonstrate how astroid clocking enables ferromagnetic domains in "pinwheel" artificial spin ice to be gradually grown or reversed at will. @COMET_NTNU@CAL_NTNU
