"efficient, scalable, directly programmable with CMOS so can be integrated into today’s computer technology... 3 orders magnitude better endurance with 2.4 billion switching cycles at ns speeds... resonance-based, leveraging non-reciprocal phase shift in magneto-optic memory cells comprised of heterogeneously integrated cerium-substituted yttrium iron garnet on silicon micro-ring resonators... magnetic field controls light speed depending on its clockwise/ counterclockwise flow"
