Graphene, which is comprised of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, is a widely used material ...

Ferromagnets are magnetized permanently in domains that are either parallel or antiparallel to the easy axis directions. The magnetization direction can be manipulated using external magnetic fields ...

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 ...

A terahertz laser makes it possible to control a material's magnetization at a timescale of picoseconds (0.000,000,000,001 seconds). In their experiment, the researchers shone extremely short light ...

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 ...

Stabilising curve: The arrows show the remnant magnetisation of a toroidal nanomagnet. On the outer edge (the right) we can see a vortex where the magnetisation spirals inwards to a point. An ...

Researchers at the Université de Lorraine in France and Tohoku University in Japan have demonstrated a sub-picosecond magnetization reversal in rare-earth-free archetypical spin valves. Their ...

The USTC team led by Prof. Shu-Hong Yu (USTC), collaborating with Prof. Zhiyong Tang (National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, China) and Prof. Edward H. Sargent (University of Toronto), has ...

The ability to reliably switch the direction of magnetic alignment in materials, a process known as magnetization switching, ...

The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship of many of the world's most distinguished scientists drawn from all areas of science, engineering and medicine, and is the oldest scientific academy in ...

Available to watch now, The Electrochemical Society, in partnership with Hiden Analytical, explores recent progress in investigating the OER on magnetic oxides The slow kinetics of the oxygen ...
