| contents | The ever-increasing demand for fast, reliable, and energy-efficient information storage continues to push magnetic memory technologies toward their fundamental limits. Conventional scaling strategies, which rely on reducing bit size, inevitably run into the "magnetic recording trilemma," where signal-to-noise ratio, thermal stability, and writability cannot all be optimized simultaneously. Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) has emerged as the leading solution, enabling high-density storage by transiently heating the medium during the write cycle. However, the reliance on laser optics and plasmonic transducers restricts HAMR primarily to hard-disk drives, limiting its integration with on-chip or embedded architectures. Here, we demonstrate an electronic variant of HAMR in which Joule heating from low-current density current pulses facilitates data writing, while the anomalous Hall effect provides electronic readout. Employing intercalated 2D magnet Ni$_{1/4}$TaSe$_2$, we show direct evidence that current pulses heat the material above its Curie temperature, during which a small magnetic field of ~2mT (100 times smaller than the coercive field) enables efficient data writing. The all-electronic approach combined with the 2D magnetic medium creates timely opportunities to revisit the energy-assisted magnetization recording, enabling new recording schemes that combine fundamental novelty with technological impact. |
