Tsinghua University announced that the team led by Song Cheng and Pan Feng from the School of Materials at Tsinghua has made significant progress in spintronics materials and devices, achieving efficient and complete electrical switching of chiral antiferromagnetic order. This research bridges a critical gap between fundamental studies of chiral antiferromagnets and their application in devices, laying the foundation for developing a new generation of magnetic storage with ultra-high density, ultra-fast read/write speeds, and low power consumption. The related findings were published in Nature on February 25.

In the experiment, Mn3Sn homojunctions were prepared using molecular beam epitaxy, and zero-field switching polarity reversal was achieved through pre-magnetization control. Tests showed that this switching method has superior resistance to magnetic field interference. According to the paper, the new configuration significantly optimizes three key metrics: critical current density, power consumption, and the ratio of anomalous Hall coercivity to current density, with the third metric showing a two-order-of-magnitude improvement over ferromagnetic materials.

[SMM Tin Flash: Global Smartphone Shipments in 2026 Are Expected to Decline by About 7% YoY]

According to market forecasts, global smartphone shipments in 2026 are expected to decline by about 7% YoY. This forecast is based on memory price assumptions for Q1 2026, and it is expected that, over time, price pressure and tight supply will begin to ease somewhat in H2 this year. In 2026, the global smartphone market will face significant challenges. Tightening memory supply and persistently high prices have continued to increase cost pressure on producers. At present, memory’s share in the smartphone bill of materials (BOM) has risen markedly, eroding producers’ profitability, with a more pronounced impact on entry-level devices. Since Q4 2025, smartphone producers have begun raising retail prices to maintain margins. However, continued price increases may weaken market demand, especially in price-sensitive emerging markets.
