Researchers demonstrate new way to control nonvolatile magnetic memory devices
News :: Anne Ju from Chronicle Online :: May 9, 2012
Cornell researchers have demonstrated a new strategy for making energy- efficient, reliable nonvolatile magnetic memory devices -- which retain information without electric power. Reported online in the journal Science May 3, the researchers use a physical phenomenon called the spin Hall effect, that turns out to be useful for memory applications because it can switch magnetic poles back and forth -- the basic mechanism needed to make magnet-based computer memory. more.

Characters in science fiction often say things like “I don’t know what this is made of. It’s like nothing on Earth. ” They could be talking about something created at the Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR), which assembles atoms in ways never seen in nature for applications ranging from computer memory to replacement body parts. more.
