Electronics can get faster and better more quickly thanks to the discovery that niobium phosphide has an especially high magnetoresistance – a phenomenon illustrated here in which electrons are deflected from their original direction of flow (green arrow) by a magnetic field (black arrows), increasing electric resistance

A discovery at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids could pave the way for further leaps forward in the speed of electronic systems. The finding that a material called niobium phosphide dramatically increases its resistance in a magnetic field could lead to faster, higher-capacity hard drives and other electronic components.
