Most computers use magnetic hard disks to store data. Each bit of information, either "0" or "1", is recorded on magnetic thin films in hard disks. A University of Arizona-led team of physicists has demonstrated an efficient way to control similar magnetic thin films by electric fields. Unlike the main memory or cache memory of a computer, nanomagnets in hard disks don't require to "refresh" to keep information.

The Women in Physics club is an active graduate student-run group that aims to promote the inclusion of women in science and to raise awareness of gender biases in physics. All students, scientists, and faculty are welcome to join and attend meetings and events.
A new cooking science class will be offered through the physics department this Spring. In addition to pots, pans and measuring cups to prepare food, students will use “the principles of thermal physics and chemistry to make cooking - and baking and preserving - more interesting, fun and tasty.” The class will be taught by Srinivas Manne, Associate Professor of Physics, and will include master chefs and bakers as lecturers.
