PassageIn a modern computer, electronic and magnetic storage technologies play complementary roles. Electronic memory chips are Fast but volatile (their contents are lost when the computer is unplugged) Magnetic tapes and hard disks are slower, but have the advantage that they are nonvolatile, so that they can be used to store software and documents even when the power is off.

In laboratories around the world, however researchers are hoping to achieve the best of both worlds. They are trying to build magnetic memory chips that could be used in place of today’s electronic ones. These magnetic memories would be non-volatile; but they would also be faster, would consume less power, and would be able to stand up to hazardous environments more easily. Such chips would have obvious applications in storage cards for digital cameras and music-players; they would enable handhold and laptop computers to boot up more quickly and to operate for longer; they would allow desktop computers to run faster; they would doubtless have military and space-faring advantages too. But although the theory behind them looks solid, there are tricky practical problems and need to be overcome .Two different approaches, based on different magnetic phenomena, are being pursued. The first, being investigated by Gary Prinz and his colleagues at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, D.C; exploits the fact that the electrical resistance of same materials changes in the presence of a magnetic field a phenomenon known as magneto – resistance. For some multi-layered materials this effect is particularly powerful and is, accordingly, called “giant” magneto-resistance (GMR). Since 1997, the exploitation of GMR has made Cheap multi-gigabyte hard disks commonplace. The magnetic orientations of the magnetized spot on the surface of a spinning disk are detected by measuring the changes they induce in the resistance of a tiny sensor. This technique is so sensitive that it means the spot can be made smaller and packed closer together than was previously, thus increasing the capacity and reducing the size and cost of a disk drive.Dr. prinz and his colleagues are now exploiting the same phenomenon on the surface of memory chips, rather than spinning disks. In a conventional memory chip, each binary digit (bit) of data is represented using a capacitor – reservoir of electrical charge that is either empty or full to represent a zero or a one. In the NRL’s magnetic design, by contrast, each bit is stored in a magnetic element in the form of a vertical pillar of magnetisable material. A matrix of wires passing above and below the elements allows each to be magnetised, either clockwise or anti-clockwise, to represent zero or one. Another set of wires allows current to pass through any particular element. By measuring an elements resistance you can determine its magnetic orientation, and hence whether it is storing a zero or a one. Since the elements retain their magnetic orientation even a when the power is off, the result is non-violate memory unlike the elements of an electronic memory, a magnetic memory’s elements are not easily disrupted by radiation. And compared with electronic memories, whose capacitors need constant topping up, magnetic memories are simpler and consume less power. The NRL researchers plan to commercialise their device through a company called Non-volatile electronics, which recently began work on the necessary processing and fabrication techniques. But it will be some years before the first chips roll of the production line.

26. In Developing magnetic memory chips to replace the electronic ones, two alternative research paths are being pursued. These are approaches based on:A. Volatile and non-volatile memoriesB. magneto-resistance and magnetic tunnel junctionsC. radiation-disruption and radiation neutral effects.D. Orientation of magnetised spots on the surface of a spinning disk and alignment of magnetic dots on the surface of conventional memory chip27.
