ABSTRACT Magnonics is a young field of research and technology emerging at the interfaces between the study of spin dynamics, on one hand, and a number of other fields of nanoscale science and technology, on the other. We review the foundations and recent achievements in magnonics in view of guiding further progress from studying fundamental magnonic phenomena towards applications. We discuss major challenges that have to be addressed in future research in order to make magnonics a pervasive technology.
