Kotoite Could Be an Ideal Insulator for Memory Storage Devices Called Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

Kotoite Could Be an Ideal Insulator for Memory Storage Devices Called Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

Breakthroughs in electronics often are the result of finding just the right material for a device -- like the tungsten in light bulbs or the silicon in transistors. Now, a Cornell scientist believes that the mineral kotoite could be an ideal insulator for memory storage devices called magnetic tunnel junctions, found in computers, cell phones and magnetic field sensors.
