SPEED RECORD FOR MAGNETIC SWITCHING PREDICTED, March 15 Scientists of the
Research Centre Jülich, Germany, have found a fundamentally new magnetic
switching method which achieves the fastest speed ever reported by applying an
external magnetic field. The re-sults that are presented in a current article in
the renowned scientific journal Physical Review Letters could introduce new
possibilities for future data stor-age applications with ultimate speeds.

SCIENTISTS
DEVELOP NEW TERAHERTZ MATERIAL, March 15 Researchers at Los Alamos National
Laboratory have created a device for manipulating terahertz (THz) radiation. The
device could be the basis for novel electronics and photonics applications
ranging from new imaging methods to advanced communication technologies. The THz
range of the electromagnetic spectrum lies between the infrared and microwave
wavelengths. Full story at http://www.physorg.com/news93197510.html
SANDIA'S
Z MACHINE CREATES ICE IN NANOSECONDS, March 15 Sandia's huge Z machine,
which generates termperatures hottter than the sun, has turned water to ice in
nanoseconds. However, don't expect anything commercial just yet: the ice is
hotter than the boiling point of water. Full story at http://www.physorg.com/news93200439.html
