Nanotechnology: 2007 Nobel Prize for Physics

Drs. Albert Fert (France) and Peter Gr?nberg (Germany) were announced as the recipients of the 2007 Nobel Prize for Physics for their discovery of "giant magnetoresistance". Affecting our daily lives, their research has allowed the dramatic miniaturization and digitalization of hard drives.

In this video, Professor Ingemar Lundstr?m discusses how giant magnetoresistance has changed the way our computers look and function.
