Scientists are now proposing a novel approach to achieve greater memory density while producing less heat: by using an electric field instead of a current to turn magnetism on and off, thereby ...

Albert Fert, French physicist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2007, is one of the discoverers of giant magnetoresistance, a physical effect that revolutionised hard disk technology, ...

As EVs spread worldwide and in Israel, experts urge transparency and mitigation over low-frequency electromagnetic exposure inside vehicles.

"This paper is the first to demonstrate the inverse spin Hall effect in a range of organic semiconductors with unprecedented sensitivity," although a 2013 study by other researchers demonstrated it ...

Magnetic skyrmions – quasiparticles with a vortex-like structure – show much promise as storage bits for next-generation computer memories and logic devices, but tracking their motion is no easy task.

Researchers at Kyushu University have shown that careful engineering of materials interfaces can unlock new applications for ...

By shining a focused laser beam onto a sample of material, a team at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and ETH Zürich showed ...

Ferromagnets are characterized by a magnetization that has long been used to store information. The magnetization is largely due to localized electron spins with their associated magnetic moments ...

The Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted was discussing in the year 1820 about the possibility of electricity and magnetism being associated to one another, and in the process presenting it finally ...
