But magnetic computing devices are fast approaching their shrinking limit in two-dimensional systems. For the next generation of computing, there is growing interest in moving to three dimensions, where not only can higher densities be achieved with 3D nanowire architectures, but three-dimensional geometries can change the <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/tags\/magnetic+properties\/\" rel=\"tag\" class=\"\">magnetic properties<\/a> and offer new functionalities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists have used state-of-the-art 3D printing and microscopy to provide a new glimpse of what happens when taking magnets to three-dimensions on the nanoscale\u20141000 times smaller than a human hair.
