People stream videos, download audiobooks to mobile devices, and store huge numbers of photos on their devices. The need for storage capacity is growing rapidly, and researchers are working to develop new data storage options. One possibility is the racetrack memory device in which data is stored in nanowires in the form of oppositely magnetized domains. The results of this research have recently been published in the scientific journal Nature Materials.
