Next gen cell phones, computers? Harnessing magnetic vortices for making nanoscale antennas

Wednesday, April 30, 2014 - 11:34 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists seeking ways to synchronize the magnetic spins in nanoscale devices to build tiny yet more powerful signal-generating or receiving antennas and other electronics have published a study showing that stacked nanoscale magnetic vortices separated by an extremely thin layer of copper can be driven to operate in unison. These devices could potentially produce a powerful signal that could be put to work in a new generation of cell phones, computers, and other applications.
