The Ministry of Science & Technology announced on Monday that a research team led by Professor Kim Bong-soo of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has developed a new kind of magnetic RAM, which is a next-generation computer chip.

"We proved for the first time that cobalt silicon, which is not naturally magnetic, can be made strongly magnetic if it is produced in ultra-microscopic nanometer-size lines," said Professor Kim. By closely arranging the nano-lines, the researchers are able to make three-dimensional MRAM. The research was published Monday on the Nano Letters website, which is a world-renowned nano-technology journal.

The next generation of computer chips will read the 0s and 1s of digital information by using magnetic properties. MRAM is expected to be able to handle data one thousand times faster than existing flash memory chips. full article
