Researchers on the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have partnered with NTNU, the Norwegian College of Science and Know-how in Trondheim, and the Institute of Nuclear Physics within the Polish Academy of Sciences to develop a technique that facilitates the manufacture of notably environment friendly magnetic nanomaterials in a comparatively easy course of based mostly on cheap uncooked supplies. Utilizing a extremely centered ion beam, they imprint magnetic nanostrips consisting of tiny, vertically aligned nanomagnets onto the supplies. Because the researchers have reported within the journal Superior Purposeful Supplies, this geometry makes the fabric extremely delicate to exterior magnetic fields and present pulses.
