Smart multi-layered magnetic material acts as an electric switch

The nanometric-size islands of magnetic metal sporadically spread between vacuum gaps display unique conductive properties under a magnetic field. In a recent study researchers found that the vacuum gaps impede the direct magnetic alignment between the adjacent islands -- which depends on the external magnetic field -- while allowing electron tunneling between them.
