Magnetic insights: Playing the percentages
An international research team has shown that one-dimensional molecular conducting wires can be switched to an insulating state using a weak magnetic field even at room temperature. The finding might offer new insights into the innate navigation systems of migratory birds as well as leading to new technology for magnetic field sensors, inexpensive touch screen displays and high-density magnetic storage for smartphones and other portable devices.
