Korean Researchers Build New MRAM Technology

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.
