Capture of Nanomagnetic ‘Fingerprints’ a Boost for Next-Generation Information Storage Media
A team of physicists at UC Davis has developed a
technique to capture the magnetic “fingerprints” of certain nanostructures —
even when they are buried within the boards and junctions of an electronic
device
CITRIS Research Exchange schedule
The spring semester schedule for the CITRIS Research Exchange is now online.
Kai Liu
Professor Kai Liu joined UC Davis in 2001. His research interest is in experimental studies of nanostructured materials for nanomagnetism, spin-transport, and advanced energy explorations. Due to their intricate nanostructures, extremely small length scales, rich surfaces and interfaces, low dimensionality, and interplay among constituents, nanostructured materials often exhibit new and enhanced properties over their bulk counterparts. Additionally, these novel properties can be tailored through extra degrees of freedom, such as structure and material.
The Future of Optical Networking
Imagine an Internet connection that's 10,000 times faster. A group of
CITRIS researchers are developing the technology that will make that
goal a reality.
A Nano-Scale Lab with Societal-Scale Impact
