New Publication in Nanoscale
Our new paper, in collaboration with Dr. Minxiang Zeng, titled “ Nontraditional Granular Magnetoresistive Devices: A Short Review ” is published in Nanoscale. In this work, we review the rapid evolution of non-traditional granular magnetoresistive (MR) devices as a promising alternative to conventional thin-film MR sensors. The article highlights how advances in nanoparticle engineering, insulating matrices, and polymeric binders enable cost-effective, scalable, and mechanica
