How Shape-Shifting Magnets Could Help Build Lower-Emission Computers

How Shape-Shifting Magnets Could Help Build Lower-Emission Computers

ANN ARBOR - Researchers at the University of Michigan, collaborating with chip-maker Intel, have created a new iron alloy that could be a major feature of magnet-based computers of tomorrow. Their work was published recently in Nature Communications. Their alloy acts as a magnetostrictor. That means it relies on the fact that when you plunge a magnetic material,
