Mini disks for data storage: Slanted edges favor tiny magnetic vortices

Slanted exterior edges on tiny magnetic disks could lead to a breakthrough in data processing. Materials researchers of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany, were able to create magnetic vortices with a diameter of only one third of a thousandth of a millimeter – structures which were impossible in the past.
