The nanoparticle self-assembly technique opens up the possibility of creating metamaterials with new magneto-optical properties.
It starred James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as the two characters who would later become Professor X and Magneto.
Data was stored on rewritable magneto-optical disks 2.5in (64mm) in diameter housed for protection in a square plastic shell.
The immediate opportunity to have a technical impact is if one could design more effective magneto-optical materials, says Dr Murray.
It borrows the clever magneto-optical system from Sony's popular little MiniDisc audio-recorder to stack magnetic data within concentric grooves on the platter's surface.
Or for comic book geeks, as Professor Xavier is to Magneto.

But Philips and Sony were only willing to rejoin if the forum used more of their technology possibly even Sony's magneto-optical recording method instead of Matsushita's phase-change design.
Feared by the regular humans, the mutants, according to Magneto (Sir Ian McKellen), will never be accepted, and since they are superior he believes they should either destroy the rest of humanity or supplant it.
The third generation smart fortwo electric drive features a 55 kW magneto-electric motor - the first product from the EM-motive joint venture founded together with Bosch - which ensures that it is as agile and lively as ever.

X-Men: First Class, released in 2011, took the X-Men storyline back to when Professor X and Magneto were young men and the origin of the group of mutants known as the X-Men and the Brotherhood of the Mutants.
It competes with IBM, EMC, NetApp, Hewlett-Packard and Hitachi Data Systems in the storage hardware market by selling products like flash drives, magneto-optical drives, magnetic tape drives and compact drives that are used for backing up data on servers.
