Synopsis: Nanotechnology: Nanotechnology generale: Nanomagnet:

1 billion of these nanomagnets were placed in a honeycomb pattern on a flat substrate. In total

the nanomagnets covered an area spanning five-by-five millimeters. Initially, the scientists studied the material and its magnetic properties at room temperature.

and arrangement of the nanomagnets. This could allow for the creation of new states of matter,

#Scientists create new shape-shifting material from 1 billion tiny magnets A synthetic material made from 1 billion nanomagnets has displayed the rare ability to change states

the complex nanomagnet structure has the potential to provide new methods of information transfer and memory storage,

#Tiny magnets mimic steam, water and ice A synthetic material--created from 1 billion nanomagnets--assumes different aggregate states depending on the temperature:

The nanomagnets covered a total area of five by five millimetres. Thanks to a special measuring technique, the scientists initially studied the collective magnetic behaviour of their metamaterial at room temperature.

Arrayin the next step, the researchers might influence these magnetic phase transitions by altering the size, shape and arrangement of the nanomagnets.

The measurements the researchers used to reveal the magnetic orientation of the nanomagnets, and therefore the properties of the metamaterial, can only be conducted exclusively at PSI.
