Magnetism@home

Introduction

Magnetism@home is a research project exploring magnetization patterns in nano-scale structures. The magnetic behavior of these structures is hard to predict using analytical method, making computer simulations the most promising method for in-depth analysis. This research is of fundamental scientific interest—helping us better understand the physical world—but also has potential applications in next-generation data-storage systems. The project is based at the Donetsk Institue for Physics and Technology in Ukraine.

Launch date: June 9, 2008

Science

[The Science section might (or might not) be divided into two parts: {1} general discussion of the field, and then {2} a discussion of the project's specific endeavor. For instance, in LHC@home, we might have {1} "Science of the Large Hardon Collider" and then {2} "Science of LHC@home"
The above is desirable, because in most cases, the field of research is really fascinating, and presenting this in broad terms-- outlining the big questions-- can make it easier to understand the particulars of the project and why it is important. ]


Results

[Where known, we should attempt to keep track of each project's publications. A good list to draw from is here. ]
