#Magnetic memory states go exponential

“#Magnetic memory states go exponential” Researchers from Bar-Ilan University have shown that relatively simple magnetic thin film structures of N crossing ellipses can support two to the power of 2N magnetic states – much greater than previously thought – and demonstrated switching between the states with spin currents. The ability to stabilize and control exponential…
