Due to the ever-increasing growth of our data consumption, researchers are looking for faster, more efficient, and more energy-conscious data storage techniques. TU/e researcher Youri van Hees uses ultrashort light pulses that enable him to write information. This way, he combines the advantages of both light and magnetic storage. His thesis cover looks like an old-fashioned British tabloid newspaper, which includes a large headline of a playful article in the Spintronic Chronicle about femtomagnetism, photonics and spin transport and reads -Quick as Flick. A smart way to create some enthusiasm among a wider audience for complicated matters of technology? -More of a nice extra,- says Youri van Hees, who defended his thesis at the department of Applied Physics on December 7th.
