Japanese scientists have discovered a method of changing magnetic domains – such as those used in RAM and hard-drives – using magnetic fields rather than the current process of electromagnets, in a system that could see storage become faster and more energy efficient. Magnetic domains, tiny regions inside magnetic materials that behave as individual magnets and can be flipped from north to south, are currently manipulated by an electromagnet, encoding binary 1 or 0. With the new system that electromagnet is bypassed: applying voltage to a nearby electrode creates an electric field that shifts the domains.
