The 216th Topical Symposium of the Magnetic Society of Japan/ The 66th Technical Meeting on Spin-electronics

Neuromorphic spintronics

Recent artificial intelligence (AI） and deep learning have achieved remarkable developments, and such technology is advancing our daily life. In such situation, the application to neuromorphic devices that mimic the structure of the human brain is attracting attention among the spintronics researchers. The spintronics is the research field that treats a new degree of freedom called spin, so that the development of a device with a different operating principle from conventional semiconductor technology is a suitable research objective. In this symposium, a wide variety of topics related with the neuromorphic spintronics will be introduced. We invite five outstanding lecturers of this research field. We expect your active participation.
