Scientists at the University of Vienna have now discovered a significant new method: When the intensity is increased, the spin waves become shorter and faster – another step towards magnon computing. The results were published in the renowned journal Science Advances.

It is particularly suitable for long-distance distributed sensing applications which requires simultaneous measurements of multiple parameters.
