Their latest work, published in Nature Communications, shows that stacked nanoscale magnetic vortices separated by an extremely thin layer of copper can be driven to operate in unison, potentially producing a powerful signal that could be put to work in a new generation of cell phones, computers, and other applications.</a><br><br><a href="http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11635">READ MORE ON BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY</a>
