Scientists at the Max Born Institute have developed a new soft X-ray instrument that can reveal dynamics of magnetic domains on nanometer length and picosecond time scales. By bringing capabilities ...

Light beams of varying intensities (yellow cylinders) help visualize magnetic domains (light and dark areas), separated by domain walls (red lines). When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a ...

A research team has taken a major step forward in the field of spintronics, a technology that uses not only the charge but also the spin of electrons to create faster, smarter, and more ...

Magnetic domain walls are narrow transitional regions separating areas of uniform magnetisation within ferromagnetic materials. In nanostructured systems—such as patterned nanowires and multilayered ...

Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd. Magnetic chiral DWs are a class of topological structures with discrete symmetries. As the boundary between domains with opposite magnetization, this ...

Everyone knows that holding two magnets together will lead to one of two results: they stick together, or they push each other apart. From this perspective, magnetism seems simple, but scientists have ...

One of the common modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is Magnetic force microscopy (MFM). As indicated by the name, SPM is used to map magnetic properties. On the nanoscale, MFM probes local ...

A fundamental property of magnetism has been disclosed through new research. The discovery may be key to development of a new generation of powerful computers. Our electronics can no longer shrink and ...

(Nanowerk News) When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a closer look. When magnets draw in physicists, they take a quantum look. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the ...

Researchers discovered a new mechanism for faster, more efficient magnetic domain wall motion using dual spin torques in cobalt-iridium-platinum multilayers. In spintronic memory, information is ...
