- Published on 23 May 16

a. New Material applied to data storage
b. Material permitting control over local magnetic fields
c. New material which could pave the way for fresh computing technologies
d. All of the above

ANSWER: All of the above
 
US Scientists have created a new material called “rewritable magnetic charge ice” that leads to increased control over local magnetic fields paving the way for new computing technologies.
  • Potential applications involving data storage, memory and logic devices as well as magnetic charge ice could lead to smaller and more compuerful computers or create rapid advances in quantum computing.
  • It will advance our knowledge about artificial spin ices, to discover new physics phenomena and to achieve desired functionalities for applications,
  • These artificial spin ices are called so as spins have a lattice structure that follows the proton positioning ordering found in water ice. They consider artificial spin ices to be scientific playgrounds, where the mysteries of magnetism might be explored and revealed.
