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
