Physicists Develop Technique to Capture Magnetic "Fingerprints" of Certain Nanostructures

In the race to develop the next generation of storage and recording media, a major hurdle has been the difficulty of studying the tiny magnetic structures that will serve as their building blocks. Now a team of physicists at the University of California, Davis, has developed a technique to capture the magnetic "fingerprints" of certain nanostructures - even when they are buried within the boards and junctions of an electronic device.

Nanotechnology Plays Important Role in Future Magnetic Storage Technology

In order to achieve higher storage densities on computer disks, the last decades were dominated by optimization of magnetic materials, i.e. the magnetic particles (grains) were gradually shrunk while, at the same time, the magnetic stability (magnetic anisotropy) was increased. Usually, about 100 to 600 grains form one bit, i.e. the nowadays smallest storage unit.

Scientists Discover First Case of Ionic Crystal Consisting of Just One Chemical Element

Scientists have found the first case of an ionic crystal consisting of just one chemical element - boron. This is the densest and hardest known phase of this element. The new phase turned out to be a key to understanding the phase diagram of boron - the only element for which the phase diagram was unknown since its discovery 200 years ago.
