- 1Scientists reshape light to control magnetic memory▼Scientists reshape light to control magnetic memory and a material’s magnetic properties
Researchers report a technique for reshaping light to control magnetic memory and adjust a material's magnetic properties. The advance could point toward faster, more efficient data storage, since it suggests magnetism in certain materials can be manipulated optically rather than only with electric currents or magnetic fields. Details of the method and its practical applications have not been widely reported yet.
- 2Light, Not Material, May Hold Key to Better Magnetic Memory▼The Secret to Better Magnetic Memory May Be the Light, Not the Material
Researchers suggest that the key to improving magnetic memory may lie in how light is used rather than in the magnetic material itself. The finding could point to new ways of designing faster, more efficient data storage by tuning light-based control of magnetism, drawing attention across the physics and materials science communities.
