Voltage-Reconfigurable Magnetic Invisibility: A New Concept for Data Security Based on Engineered Magnetoelectric Materials (ERC-AdG, REMINDS)

  • Financial entity: European Research Council, Advanced Grant (2.500.000 €).
  • Duration: 2023-2028
  • Principal Investigator: Prof. Jordi Sort
  • Personnel involved: Nicolau López, Christina Stefani, Zheng Ma, Enric Menéndez, Eva Pellicer, Jordi Sort
  • Name of the project: 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.
