Researchers from Augsburg and Japan have achieved a breakthrough by writing and reading magnetic information in antiferromagnets using only light. The new method, based on the momentum of laser pulses, could enable faster, low-energy data storage and directly link optical communication with magnetic memory technologies. The research was recently published in the renowned journal Nature Materials.

Dr Leonardo Silva-Dias has recently joined the University of Augsburg as a recipient of a Humboldt Research Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The chemist is researching biomolecular processes surrounding pathological changes in nerve cells. His research could help to better understand the emergence of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkison’s disease.
