A highly sensitive magnetic material was developed by researchers in the USA. This hardware is likely to revolutionize the field of data storage (in computer hard drives) as well as storage systems energy.
The material was created by researchers from her University Californias. It consists of nickel and vanadium oxide layers. As it turned out, even a minimal change in temperature is capable of dramatically changing its magnetic properties. This skill is extremely valuable in the field of electronic engineering.
"There is no other known material with such behavior. At low temperatures, oxide acts as an insulator. At high it turns into metal and the intermediate is transformed into this odd material " says Ivan Skaller, member of the research team teams who announced its discovery in congress of the American Physical Society held in Denver.
Although it is still too early to ascertain the scope of its applications, researchers believe that one obvious use is in the field of computer data storage. Another possible application according to the scientists is in electrical networks or storage devices energys.
