Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) announced they have created a synthetic material with magnetic properties capable of changing states – just as water changes from solid ice to liquid or steam – with temperature change. Constructed from 1 billion tiny magnets, this new material may be the future for the world of electronics as it could facilitate information transfer.
