(Nanowerk Spotlight) A material used to store information must satisfy a demanding bargain. It has to keep its state when the power is off, resist noise from its surroundings, and still change when a ...

An international team of researchers led by Lancaster University has discovered a highly efficient mechanism for shaking magnets using very short light pulses, shorter than a trillionth of a second.

Physicists have discovered a much faster approach to create a pattern of spins in a magnet. This 'shortcut' opens a new chapter in topology research. Interestingly, this discovery also offers an ...

Researchers created a new quantum state of matter, dubbed a higher-order topological magnet, that may address key issues in quantum technology. When different quantum states combine, new collective ...
