Computing infrastructure of the world is the fastest growing consumer of primary electricity, and on track to being a major contributor of greenhouse gases. Sustaining current growth rate of compute, fueled by artificial intelligence, blockchain and internet of things, might become practically impossible over the next two decades. Thus, we need to make quick advances towards making our computing hardware exceedingly energy-efficient, to make computation both environmentally and practically sustainable. Herein, I describe how we are developing "beyond CMOS" devices using two-dimensional magnetic materials to enable massive reductions in energy dissipation in computer hardware.
