When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a closer look. When magnets draw in physicists, they take a quantum look.

An international team led by researchers at the University of California, Riverside, has made a significant breakthrough in how to enable and exploit ultra-fast spin behavior in ferromagnets.

The field of spintronics has, so far, focused on magnetic systems with uncompensated order, i.e. ferromagnets and ferrimagnets. Both these systems can be easily studied using conventional ...

Scientists have used light to visualize magnetic domains, and manipulated these regions using an electric field, in a quantum antiferromagnet. This method allows real-time observation of magnetic ...

"Most people are familiar with ferromagnets (permanent magnets) like iron, where the spins are all aligned with each other, but there are also anti-ferromagnets where the spins are pointed in opposite ...

Only recently being used for controller thumbsticks, TMR allows you to reach even more precise levels of accuracy than what ...

Oct. 8, 2024 — Engineers have worked out how to give robots complex instructions without electricity, which could free up more space in the robotic 'brain' for them to 'think'. Mimicking how ...

This “frustrated” behaviour is very different from that of ordinary ferromagnets or antiferromagnets, which have spins that point in the same or alternating directions, respectively. Instead, the ...
