University of California, Berkeley researchers demonstrated for the first time that magnetic chips can operate at the lowest fundamental energy dissipation theoretically possible under the laws of thermodynamics. The researchers say their findings prove dramatic reductions in power consumption are possible, and could shrink as low as one-millionth the amount of energy per operation used by conventional transistors. The researchers experimentally tested and confirmed the Landauer limit, using an innovative technique to measure the tiny amount of energy dissipation that resulted when they flipped a nanomagnetic bit.
