Scientists of Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU,
Vladivostok, Russia) together with colleagues from the Chinese
Academy of Sciences (Beijing) have designed a
platinum-cobalt-magnesium oxide microstructure coated by platinum
that is capable of operating in three-valued logic mode
(true/false/don’t know). It paves the way for building new
electronic and spintronic devices, qutrit quantum processors (three
positions instead of two of qubits), and neuromorphic systems
imitating human brain activity. A related article is published in
Physical Review Applied.
