Which technology did NOT directly benefit from Grünberg's discovery?
Floppy disks
Digital music players
USB flash drives
Cloud storage
Answer
Floppy disks did not directly benefit from Grünberg's discovery. His work focused on giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in multilayers, which led to the development of GMR read heads for hard disk drives. These heads significantly increased storage capacity and paved the way for modern high-density hard disk technology.
