DARPA grant to fund research into magnetic logic

DARPA grant to fund research into magnetic logic: "“The basic idea of NML is the same as for the original electronic QCA, except that nanomagnets hold the information and magnetic interactions are used to perform logic,” Porod said. “We were quite surprised to learn how strong magnetic interactions are between nanomagnets, which can be fabricated quite easily.”
Magnets are already being used in memory and data storage, but the Notre Dame team’s research demonstrates that nanomagnets can be used for logic functions."
