it is very early stages but research is done of replacing the current transistor technology with magnetic technology.
instaed of silicon gates you will have and island of megnetic fields that will hold the value 0 or 1.
Computers using the magnetic chips would boot up almost instantly. The magnetic chip's memory is nonvolatile, making it impervious to power interruptions, and it retains its data when the device is switched off.

The magnetic technology is radiation-hard, and will be a huge improvement on what they're using now

that means interference is lowerd

if that is the future of chips then we have a lot to look for

ideas has been throwing in for the next computer, such as DNA or some sort of bio related as well as others. I think that in order for any of these technology to reach to real product, it maybe at least 5-10 years before we see the actual product and it may take even longer before it's really an affordable, good performance.
