"CHIPS: IBM uses 'racetrack' to advance memory storage"

A key current-reducing technique in the development of magnetic racetrack memories has been demonstrated by IBM Corp. fellow Stuart Parkin and colleagues at the company's Almaden Research Center. By drilling down into a silicon chip with a U-shaped magnetic nanowire called a racetrack, the researchers hope to greatly expand the capacity of memory storage devices.
