CMOS and related technologies will fail to keep pace with computing requirements by the end of the decade. This talk will muse on the design and characterization of materials for current and future problems of processing and storage, including but not limited to half-metallic ferro- and ferrimagnets for spintronics and topological insulators for quantum computing.
