Magnetic vortex memory shows memory potential of nanodots

Wednesday, April 21, 2010 - 10:30 in Physics & Chemistry

(PhysOrg.com) -- Using magnetic nanodots in the vortex state, researchers have designed a new kind of non-volatile memory that could offer increased speed and density for next-generation non-volatile random access memories (RAM). The new design takes advantage of magnetic vortices' ability to store binary information as positive or negative core polarities, which can be controlled by simply changing the frequency of the rotating vortex cores of the nanodots.
