Rewritable Magnetic Charge Ice Shows Promise for New Computing Technologies

Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and headed by Zhili Xiao, Northern Illinois University physicist and Argonne materials scientist, have developed a new type of material dubbed, 'rewritable magnetic charge ice'. This material allows an unexceptional level of control over local magnetic fields that could provide new opportunities towards next-generation computing technologies.
