Main attraction: Scientists create world’s thinnest magnet

(DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) Scientists at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley have created an ultrathin magnet that operates at room temperature. The ultrathin magnet could lead to new applications in computing and electronics – such as high-density, compact spintronic memory devices – and new tools for the study of quantum physics.
