Spin waves (and their quanta magnons) can effectively carry and process information in magnetic nanostructures. By analogy to photonics, this research field is labelled magnonics. It comprises the study of excitation, detection, and manipulation of magnons. From the practical point of view, the most attractive feature of magnonic devices is...

Building distributed yet integrated systems remains a difficult problem to solve. First,
it requires a solid understanding of the individual components to be connected. Next,
we have to connect these components in a way that balances loose coupling against
system-wide requirements, such as latency and security. Last...
I was first introduced to Balsamiq while working as the Director of User Experience
