Cooperative Research on the Metal Oxide Magnetic Nanoparticles

The purpose of this white paper is to give an overview of metal oxide magnetic nanoparticles, including the current progress that has been made, the transformative potential that they may have for enabling high density data storage, and the roadblocks that still lie in the way of this emerging technology. The paper will also elucidate how the development of research on metal oxide magnetic nanoparticles will fulfill a critical national need, and why adequate funding to support this research should be a high priority. 1.
