Future computers will require a magnetic material which can be manipulated ultra-rapidly by breaking the strong magnetic coupling. In a new study, Swedish and German scientists demonstrate that even the strongest magnetic coupling may be broken within picoseconds. This will open up an exciting new area of research.
