Spintronic devices: Switching of magnetic memory bits with magnons
Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR), Tohoku UniversityResearchers at AIMR and NUS have demonstrated field-free, energy-efficient switching of perpendicular magnetization using magnon torques in a WTe₂/NiO/CoFeB heterostructure. By exploiting crystal symmetry and spin canting, they achieved low-current operation with minimal impact of Joule heating—offering a promising path toward scalable, low-power spintronic memory devices based on magnon transport.

National Research Council of Science & TechnologyElectronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) has successfully demonstrated a 200 Gbps 6G wireless link, marking a world first, using a proof-of-concept (PoC) system developed late last year. The 6G system developed by ETRI uses an ultra-wide bandwidth of 10 GHz around 160 GHz in the sub-terahertz (sub-THz) band.

Videoart may help patients at the ICU manage long-term psychological stress
Journal of Intensive MedicineAfter a stay at the intensive care unit (ICU), many patients experience long-lasting psychological issues collectively known as post-intensive care syndrome; however, effective management interventions remain limited. In a recent study, researchers from Israel explored whether videoart could reduce stress-related symptoms among ICU patients. Although the short-term effects were not significant, patients exposed to videoart reported fewer severe stress symptoms a year after discharge, highlighting its potential as an effective technique to support psychological recovery.
