1. Nanomagnetics: A New Hardware Device Group 2 Jason Hill Ryan Long Joye Turnage Jonathan Ashworth

2. What is Nanotechnology? Nano= 1 Billionth, therefore a nanometer is one billionth of a meter Nanotechnology- any technology that exploits phenomena and structures that can only occur at the nanometer scale

3. Scaling Laws

4. Nanometer Scale

5. What is a Nanomagnet? Nanomagnet: an extremely small magnet that can transfer information Nanomagnets are predicted to one day replace transistors in computers

6. Nanomagnet Technology Discovered by Russell Cowburn Furthered by Alexandre Imre Concept: uses an alternating north-south polarity to rapidly transfer information down a chain of nanomagnets

7. Applications of Nanomagnets Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) Keeps frequently used software or data permanently in magnetic cells Benefits Load up time is significantly faster

8. Processing speed Most computers processors function at 2 or 3 Gigahertz Magnets 110 Nanometers wide have shown the ability to process at speeds of at least 100 Megahertz

9. Research and Development 2004 Roughly 4.3 Billion 2009 Estimated to be approx. 12 Billion

10. In Conclusion Nanomagnets are tomorrow’s future in magnetic devices!
