Public Domain Images - Magnetic Monet (5828752396)

This graphic shows the magnetic "domains" within thin-film rings of a new advanced material for making non-volatile logic devices. Changes in color indicate changes in the direction of the magnetization of the material. Housed in an Advanced Measurement Laboratory metrology wing 12 meters (40 feet) underground, the NIST-developed instrument that recorded this data is the highest resolution magnetic imaging instrument in the United States.
