Answer
Peter Grünberg shared the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics with Albert Fert for their independent discovery of giant magnetoresistance (GMR). This phenomenon occurs when a magnetic field is applied to a layered structure of alternating ferromagnetic and non-magnetic materials, causing a significant change in electrical resistance. GMR has revolutionized data storage technology, enabling the development of high-density hard disk drives.
