In nanoprocessors, transistors can be replaced by magnetic valves

A group of researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute (Villigen, Switzerland) and ETH Zurich have investigated and confirmed the operation of an interesting phenomenon of magnetism at the atomic level. The atypical behavior of magnets at the level of nanometer clusters was predicted 60 years ago by the Soviet and American physicist Igor Ekhielevich Dzyaloshinskii. Researchers from Switzerland were able to create such structures and are now predicting a bright […]
