The SWING Moonshot project held its progress workshop with the scientific community of the SPIN Research Program
On May 20–21, 2025, the SWING moonshot project held its workshop on the Jussieu university campus in Paris, in connection with the Magnetometry Days. The event brought together around fifty members of the scientific community to discuss recent advances in the field of magnonics.
SWING is a moonshot project that aims to harness the unique physical properties of spin waves—or magnons—to develop new information technologies. By exploiting the phase or amplitude of these waves, the project explores alternative approaches to data encoding and processing that could prove more efficient than current electronic technologies.
This workshop provided a stimulating setting for rich and structured discussions around four main thematic areas:
> Reconfigurable magnonics1
> Hybrid magnonics
> Nanomagnonics
> Integration of spintronics into electronic components
The event brought together researchers, postdoctoral fellows, PhD students, and interns around 13 high-quality oral presentations and 8 posters. Three keynote lectures were delivered by experienced speakers from French and European laboratories, offering valuable insights into the current and future challenges of the field.
The beautiful Parisian weather encouraged informal yet productive discussions during coffee breaks and meals, strengthening the bonds between participants and fostering collaboration within this scientific community.
