In February we briefly reviewed some of the emerging technologies listed by the MIT Technology Review, as pertaining to computing and electronics. One technology that we mentioned was Racetrack Memory, a technology that uses U-shaped magnetic nanowires in conjunction with a spin current to propagate magnetic patterns along the wire. It seems that since then MIT Technology Review has published a four minute video interview with Stuart Parkin, an IBM Research Fellow, discussing Racetrack Memory on a high level. It is a very nice little primer on this topic and might be of interest to anyone dealing with memory design and technology. The video embedded below is a much longer interview with Stuart as conducted by Fast Company TV. In this video, Stuart discusses Magnetic Memory, Racetrack Memory, and several other related things. A couple warnings about this video: The interviewer does not seem to really have a good handle on this topic, so bear through his less than stellar questions or attempts at humor, and wait for Stuart’s answers for they are a lot more interesting than the actual questions. Also, the audio volume in the interview is rather low, with the exception of the interviewer occasionally laughing hysterically directly into the microphone: a less than enjoyable experience. Nevertheless, the interview has some interesting content that might be of interest to some.

@icdboss noted, hopefully they will have a better experience dealing with Samsung locally, given the company's large presence in Austin
