Information and communication technologies have greatly changed our daily life-style through the widespread use of mobile devices and cloud computing. But conventional mobile devices must be recharged frequently, and the number of rechargers that must be left plugged into power outlets continues to increase, which results in increase in wasting energy. Finding the ways to decrease in energy consumption which is increasing more and more with the use of “big data” and the Internet of Things (IoT), is a serious social subject.
This program will resolve this societal issue through outstanding technologies such as the ultimate in non-volatile memory that uses voltage to switch a magnetic memory, and the spintronics logic integrated circuits that consume little power, in order to achieve ultimate power savings at each computer memory and storage level. This will reduce the power consumption of IT devices down to the possible lowest level and creates a comfortable and environment-friendly IT society free from the stress of recharging, as well as a safe and secure society that enables access to information even in large-scale disasters.
