Electricity loosens tiny bits Researchers have found a way to make flipping small bits easier. The electrically-assisted magnetization reversal process weakens the magnetization of a ferromagnetic semiconductor's magnetization by applying a pinpoint electric field, making the magnetization of individual bits easier to flip. |
