Extending 2D structures into 3D space has become a general trend in multiple disciplines including electronics, photonics, and magnetics. This approach provides means to enrich conventional or to launch novel functionalities by tailoring curvature and 3D shape. We study 3D curved magnetic thin films and nanowires where new fundamental effects emerge from the interplay of the geometry of an object and topology of a magnetic sub-system [1-3]. On the other hand, we explore the application potential of 3D magnetic architectures for the realization of mechanically shapeable magnetoelectronics [4] for automotive but also virtual and augmented reality appliances [5-7]. To advance in this research field, we develop novel theoretical methods and fabrication/characterization techniques [8-10]. In this talk, recent fundamental and technological advancements in this research field will be reviewed.
