Bar-Ilan University hones the power of multiple magnetic states

These types of advancements could be used towards storing data, magnetic sensing as well as neuromorphic computing.

Bar-Ilan University researchers have shown that relatively simple magnetic thin film structures of N crossing ellipses can support two to the power of 2N magnetic states -- much greater than previously thought -- and demonstrated switching between the states with spin currents.
