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 that they have surprisin... 2 July 2009 17:01 GMT Computer Reboots Will Soon Be a Thing of the Past Most people who own a computer know that turning it on can be very stressful. Booting and rebooting can take forever, and you really need to get something done very fast, at times.
