El efecto de la magnetorresistencia gigante se descubrió en 1988 y su importancia se puso de manifiesto rápidamente, pues a mediados de los '90 las cabezas lectoras de IBM ya se basaban en ello. En esencia, este efecto permite que puedas leer la información magnética almacenada en el disco o soporte magnético con mayor precisión y sensibilidad, con lo cual se pueden fabricar unidades magnéticas más pequeñas, y por tanto posibilita aumentar la densidad de grabación. 1, record 1, Spanish, - magnetorresistencia%20gigante
