REMINDS
REMINDS proposes a new concept to boost data security: to act directly at material level, in the way information is stored. The project is built on the disruptive idea of using voltage to activate/deactivate magnetism via strain or ion migration effects and it tackles novel strategies to control the mutual interactions between ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials.
