With all due respect to Dr. Litvinov and his research, the far-fetched claims a the fore of this article / PR are irresponsible and ridiculous. Mr. Litvinov"s research is clearly in the basic science stages, and there is not even the most remote mention of a product or application, not to mention practicality, economic feasiblity, and scalability. Thus, asserting that you will overtake semiconductors in a PR is admitting that you don"t know how markets work and how technology is phased in or out, and ultimately does a disservice to Dr. Litvinov, IMHO.

“The long-term potential of developing integrated magnetic computing systems such as ours could foster a significant advance in information processing that rivals not just superconductors, but also the integrated circuit revolution of the past half century,”


It is definitely an engineering project of micro size for mega proportions for information processing. I hope someone will be taking notes on the spin-off potential in how to deal with the by products of such technology. There is already a pile of integrated circuit related debris that is both dangerous and in the way of progress. Given what the semiconductor decades brought forth there is certainly room for such “cleanup refinements,” in the here and now.

The insider proposals and papers on this almost revolutionary step in information processing should make interesting reading.
