Advanced Magnetic Devices Have Unexpectedly Long-Range Effects

Electromagnetic nanostructures used in data storage are, at this point, some of the most complex devices in the world, and they make storing information at the nanoscale possible with relative ease. But a tiny grid of the stuff has recently led researchers to a totally unexpected find, namely... [ read more >> ]

Here, a series of MOIF (Magneto-optic imaging film) images shows reversal of domains in a ferromagnetic film having a grid of antiferromagnetic strips on top as the external field increases to the right
