A new spin on battery technology | Tech News on ZDNet

A new spin on battery technology Tech News on ZDNet: "Charged by the application of a very strong magnetic field, the Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) contains a set of nano-magnets - zones some 5 nanometers across in a zinc-gallium-arsenic-magnesium matrix - which absorb energy and then release it over time. Although the effect had been predicted, the size and duration of the result was not."
