Concept of the helimagnet-based memory devices. The directions of the atomic magnetic moments, depicted by the colored allows, are arranged into a spiral. Chirality, the right- and left-handed ...
A laser trick in nanometer-thin magnets hints at faster storage and computing without exotic laboratory conditions ...
Magnetic (anti)skyrmions are microscopically small whirls that are found in special classes of magnetic materials. These nano-objects could be used to host digital data by their presence or absence in ...
By shining a focused laser beam onto a sample of material, a team at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and ETH Zürich showed ...
Hot stuff Heat-assisted magnetic recording is set to boost the storage capacity of hard disks still further. (Courtesy: Seagate Technology) When it comes to storing data, you might think that magnetic ...
Researchers have mapped magnetic fields in three dimensions, a major step toward solving what they call the 'grand challenge' of revealing 3D magnetic configuration in magnetic materials. The work has ...
Warnings about magnets and gadgets have been passed down like tech folklore, often without much explanation. The reality is more nuanced: some electronics are genuinely vulnerable to magnetic fields, ...
What is Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM)? Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique that allows the imaging and characterization of magnetic properties of materials at ...
Magnetic (anti)skyrmions are microscopically small whirls that are found in special classes of magnetic materials. They could be used to host digital data. A team of scientists has now made the ...
