Magnetic materials used in mobile phones and other devices could be manufactured with fewer imperfections, thus improving performance.
MRAM, a next-generation memory based on magnetic materials, has emerged as an alternative to SRAM because it is non-volatile, cutting leak current during standby status.
ENGADGET: Toshiba goes perpendicular to solve MRAM's power issues, rethink cache memory
The prestigious Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials rejected his study of a rare earth magnet because it lacked physics-related measurements that Branagan and his adviser deemed irrelevant.
Iron oxide is used in coatings for magnetic recording materials.
The magnetic properties of materials hold the key to major advances in technology.
ENGADGET: Cray's Jaguar supercomputer upgraded with NVIDIA Tesla GPUs, renamed Titan
The researchers first created separate nanoparticles of two materials, lead selenide and magnetic iron oxide, with precise dimensions.
Biological materials themselves are not usually magnetic, but they are often chemically specific.
Dr van Dover thinks that the electronics industry's demands for new materials a dielectric here, a magnetic-recording medium there are fairly few.
After a decade of ho-hum results, magnetic memory got a boost with the discovery of giant magnetoresistive materials.
Most usefully, the ability to make stuff with atomic precision will allow scientists to produce materials with improved, or new, optical, magnetic, thermal or electrical properties.
This means the soap and the materials that it dissolves can be removed easily by applying a magnetic field.
Most materials, including milk and water, are diamagnetic, which means they are repelled by external magnetic fields though this phenomenon is far too subtle to be observed in normal circumstances.
MRI, first developed 30 years ago, is based on a well established scientific technique, nuclear magnetic resonance, which uses the interaction of magnetic fields with the spin of the nuclei of atoms to provide detailed information on the constituents of chemicals and biological materials.
