Modern low-power solutions to computer memory rely heavily on the manipulation of the magnetic properties of materials. Understanding the influence of the chemical properties of these materials on ...

A new Monash review throws the spotlight on recent research in heterostructures of topological insulators and magnetic materials. In such heterostructures, the interesting interplay of magnetism and ...

A recent breakthrough has established a direct link between magnetism and electricity, paving the way for faster technological advancements in computing. This development builds on the first-time ...

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry "spintronic" memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up ...

Libor Šmejkal has a fondness for the artwork of M. C. Escher, whose work was often inspired by mathematics. One of Šmejkal’s favourite pieces is Horseman, a striking picture that features an elaborate ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) While investigations into magnetism predate 1820, it was Hans Christian Ørsted's discovery in that year that truly inaugurated the field of electromagnetism by demonstrably ...

Understanding how magnetic correlations change over short timescales is the first step in being able to control magnetism for applications. What happens when very short pulses of laser light strike a ...

Engineers at the University of Delaware have uncovered a way to bridge magnetism and electricity through magnons—tiny waves that carry information without electrical current. These magnetic waves can ...
