Half-a-loaf method can improve magnetic memories

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 - 07:00 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 magnetisation 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, which is published by the American Institute of Physics (AIP)...
