Ferromagnetic Electrodes Used in New Electronic Memory Switch

A group of investigators from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) highlights the development of a new type of electronic switching mechanisms. They say that the device could lead to significant improvements in memory capabilities, and also to faster processing. Nove... [ read more >> ]

This image shows a copper filament forming between two electrodes of the same magnetic orientation (top and bottom layers). The copper layer is orange, and the metal (tantalum) oxide layer is blue.
