Physicists in Europe and the US have developed a new technique for reversing the "core polarization" of the tiny magnetic whirlpools that exist in certain materials. The reversal, which can be ...

Researchers have discovered magnetic vortex-antivortex pairs arising from correlated electron spins in a newly engineered trilayer material. The discovery could advance memory cells and points to the ...

Micron-sized magnetic platelets in the flux-closed vortex state are characterized by an in-plane curling magnetization and a nanometer-sized perpendicularly magnetized vortex core. Having the simplest ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed a way to swiftly and precisely control electron spins at room temperature. The technology, described in Nature ...

On-demand control of stable toroidal vortices lays groundwork for robust wireless data encoding. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic ...

For about ten years now, tiny magnetic structures measuring a few millionths of a millimetre have met with growing interest from the worlds of science and technology, particularly on account of their ...

Topologically stabilized spin structures at the nanoscale magnets, including domain walls, vortices and skyrmions, have recently received much attention. Among the nanoscale non-linear spin textures, ...

Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic vortex-ring-like light patterns. These structured light vortices, known as skyrmions, are highly stable and ...
