Chemical disorder gives a thin ceramic film magnetic properties
A multi-institutional team led by researchers at Penn State studied a ceramic film.
The material is thinner than a human hair.
The team found that chemical disorder gives the film magnetic properties.
Those properties could make the material useful in electronics.
The researchers say such devices could compute faster, use less energy and store more data.
The source does not describe a specific device or say what happens next.
