Ultrafast Laser Pulses Could Lessen Data Storage Energy Needs

Caption

Representation of domain walls within a ferromagnetic layered material. New research shows that when these materials are hit with a free electron laser, magnetic domain walls move much faster than previously thought. This opens up new possibilities for energy-efficient data storage.
