THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
Researchers in the engineering department at the University of California
-
Riverside "
have reported advances
in so-called "

" devices that will help lead to a new technology for computing and data storage".
The research group is being led by "
Sandeep Kumar
, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering" at the university.
Several papers
have been published concerning the research, including one in the scientific journal
Applied Physics Letters
.
Sandeep Kumar can be reached via email at

MIT
Researchers at MIT have been researching magnetism and, as a result, "
have now demonstrated
experimentally the existence of a fundamentally new kind of magnetic behavior, adding to the two previously known states of magnetism".
