UC Berkeley professor Jie Yao and his team developed a one-atom-thin two-dimensional magnet that reached the "fundamental limit" proposed by physicists years ago.
Reaching the “fundamental limit” proposed by physicists years ago, UC Berkeley associate professor in materials science and engineering Jie Yao and his team created a thinner two-dimensional magnet.
The Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, or Berkeley Lab, released a study published June 25 on the creation of the “one-atom-thin two-dimensional” magnet. The magnet, which operates at room temperature, will allow for a more efficient data encoding process, impacting the field of memory devices, computing, spintronics and quantum physics, according to the study.
