Three research projects have unveiled new breakthroughs in the study of skyrmions: small magnetic spin patterns that could form the basis of future high-density memory devices. Three research projects ...

“Spin-orbit-torque (SOT) devices are promising candidates for the future magnetic memory landscape, as they promise high endurance, low read disturbance, and low read error, in comparison with ...

(A) a single magnetic domain and (B) multiple magnetic domains with opposite polarization. (C) Following the subtraction of image (A) from image (B), a Kerr image with sharp contrast is obtained [39].

Spin device: in this diagram of the spin valve the nanowire runs between a source and drain (both shown in gold) and the locations of the two quantum dots on the nanowire are denoted by the dashed ...

A rare spin effect once limited to large crystals is now seen in ultrathin magnetic films, pointing to new ways of building faster, more stable, and miniaturized spin-based devices. (Nanowerk ...

If you twist something — say, spin a top or rotate a robot’s arm — and want it to return to its exact starting point, ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a device that enables external magnetic field control of magnetic injection current in the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), a phenomenon not yet used in commercial ...
