Spintronics on Paper: The Whys and Wherefores
By Meriem Akin, Lutz Rissing | Institute of Micro-Production Technology
Computerizing information has enabled paper to dissociate itself from being merely a passive carrier for ink. Due to its unique technical properties (such as light weight, mechanical bendability, porosity, moisture intake, chemical resistivity, thermo-mechanical stability), low cost and resource abundance, disruptive technology based on paper has emerged in the past 10 years: medical diagnosis systems, interactive displays, foldable microscopes, robust civil architecture and pulp-based computing to name a few [1-5]. <read more>

A Visit to the Patent Office

By Dr. Stan Trout | Spontaneous Materials
A few months ago, I wrote an article called The Patent Challenge for the Spring 2015 issue of Magnetics Business & Technology Magazine. It was motivated by the panel discussion of NdFeB patents at Magnetics 2015. In it, I mentioned that I had found that the US Patent Office (USPTO) runs a program called Patent Examiner Technical Training Program (PETTP), which brings in experts from many fields of study to help train current and future Patent Examiners. I promised to report back when I had visited and that has in fact happened. <read more>
