The 2007 Nobel prize in Physics has been awarded to Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg for independently discovering Giant Magnetoresistance in 1988. Their work had a tremendous impact on the computer industry as it revolutionized the way we could store and retrieve information on hard disks. It was the first major application of nanotechnology and allowed hard disks to shrink from the size of a large washing machine to the device that fits in an mp3 player.

There is a lot of positive feedback about the Dynamo paper but I noticed that something I wrote in introducing the paper is being misunderstood. This was my fault, I wrote it too strongly. What I meant by internal-only is that Dynamo is not directly exposed externally. However, Dynamo and similar Amazon technologies are used to power parts of our Amazon Web Services, such as S3.
