Astronomers from the George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, DC, and elsewhere have employed NASA's Chandra X-ray spacecraft to observe a pulsar wind nebula inside a supernova remnant known ...

A team showed through calculations that spin waves travel along a Z-shaped path over 5,000 times more efficiently than in ...

Short current pulses can switch magnetization in thin films via spin orbit torque, enabling controllable skyrmion motion for future data technologies.

Abstract: Post-assembly magnetization (PAM) has become a widely adopted technique in the production of permanent magnet (PM) electrical machines, offering advantages such as simplified assembly ...

Magnetic switching processes are considered a prime example of controllable physics at the nanometer scale: in certain ...

Electric vehicles are pushing scientists to tackle one of the biggest hidden energy drains inside electric motors: magnetic ...

Lattice symmetry directly shapes topological spin structures in two-dimensional van der Waals magnets, a role typically attributed to interfacial interactions.

Surprising result could accelerate the development of altermagnetic spintronics with potential applications in advanced memories and logic ...

Magnetic mineral populations that recorded the Earth’s magnetic field during distinct stages of rock formation are often juxtaposed on micrometer-to-millimeter scales. This poses significant ...

Controlling magnetic states in materials typically requires continuous power or only works in rare, specialized systems. Researchers developed a general theory showing how electric fields can ...
