Hamburgers show what you can achieve with some U-shaped magnetic nanowire in chips

Cool. This is an even faster version of something already getting faster smaller and better (from the New Scientist:
An experimental breakthrough that could dramatically increase the capacity, speed and reliability of computer hard drives has been announced by an international team of physicists.Guido Meier at the University of Hamburg in Germany and colleagues used nanosecond pulses of electric current to push magnetic regions along a wire at 110 metres per second - a hundred times faster than was previously possible.
They still need to make it reliable.
