Grünberg's discovery relates to which physical property of materials?
Conductivity
Magnetoresistance
Malleability
Reflectivity
Answer
Magnetoresistance refers to the change in a material's electrical resistance in response to an applied magnetic field. This phenomenon is crucial in various technological applications, including magnetic sensors, read heads in hard disk drives, and giant magnetoresistance (GMR) devices. The discovery of magnetoresistance by Peter Grünberg and Albert Fert in 1988 earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2007.
