Half-a-loaf method can improve magnetic memories

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 - 15:56 in Physics & Chemistry

Chinese scientists have shown that magnetic memory, logic and sensor cells can be made faster and more energy efficient by using an electric, not magnetic, field to flip the magnetization of the sensing layer only about halfway, rather than completely to the opposite direction. They describe the new cell design in the Journal of Applied Physics.
