Researchers have managed to visualize two distinct mechanisms in which magnetism can switch within antiferromagnetic ...

Electrons inherently carry both spin and orbital angular momentum (i.e., properties that help to understand the rotating motions and behavior of particles). While some physicists and engineers have ...

Researchers visualized two spin-switching modes in an antiferromagnet, revealing a fast, low-heat mechanism that could enable ...

This magnetization can lead to a voltage perpendicular to the electric current even without an external magnetic field; this is the anomalous Hall effect. In contrast, antiferromagnets feature spins ...

Nearly two centuries after Michael Faraday first showed that magnetism can twist light, physicists have uncovered a hidden ...

Spintronics -- based on the principles of electron charge and magnetic spin -- goes beyond the limits of conventional electronics. However, spintronic devices are yet to see advances, because ...

A research team led by Ryo Shimano of the University of Tokyo has successfully visualized two distinct mechanisms through ...

The reliability of data storage and writing speed in advanced magnetic devices depend on drastic, complex changes in microscopic magnetic domain structures. However, it is extremely challenging to ...

Scientists at the Max Born Institute have developed a new soft-X-ray instrument that can reveal  dynamics of magnetic domains ...

Spin flips: physicists have magnetized water by spinning it at high speeds. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Inna Bigun) Physicists in the US have shown that rotating matter at high speeds can magnetize atomic ...
