Cool science: Ruthenium is the fourth element discovered to have unique magnetic properties at room temperature

The exclusive club of single elements that display ferromagnetism at room temperatures now has a new member. Minnesota-based researchers reported that ruthenium can have magnetic properties in ambient temperature, an article in Science Daily states. Ferromagnetism is a form of magnetism wherein the material creates permanent magnets or are drawn towards magnets. Until recently, only three […]

Breakthrough in “spintronic” devices for data storage and faster computing

The designs of consumer-centric computers in use today are largely based on old standards that haven’t been updated for quite some time – apart from all the miniaturization, of course. Now a group of engineers has shown that there may be an alternative solution for data storage and memory, and even computers in general, that would lead […]
