The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Electrons inherently carry both spin and orbital angular momentum (i.e., properties that help to understand the rotating motions and behavior of particles). While some physicists and engineers have ...

Magnetization switching remains one of the central applications of spintronic devices. “Useful devices, such as magnetic memory or logic circuits, require the ability to switch individual magnetic ...

Schematic figure of rapid (~100 ps) non-thermal switching of magnetization in antiferromagnetic Mn 3 Sn (to be precise, the magnetic octupole consisted of manganese spins forming a Kagome-lattice ...

Scientists transform wasted spin loss into usable energy, powering a new principle for magnetic control and next-gen ultra-low power devices. Spintronics is a technology that utilizes the "spin" ...

(Nanowerk News) Magnetization can be switched with a single laser pulse. However, it is not known whether the underlying microscopic process is scalable to the nanometer length scale, a prerequisite ...
