(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 ...

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 ...

You normally associate a double helix with DNA, but an international team headquartered at Cambridge University used 3D printing to create magnetic double helixes that are about a 1,000 times smaller ...

The research team built a controlled experimental system consisting of two parallel magnetic layers: a two-dimensional array of tiny rotatable magnets on the top and a fixed magnetic substrate with a ...

Adding magnets to a 3D print can be very useful in a design, but there are some things that can trip you up if you’re not ...

Using a diamond needle tipped with a single electron, physicists have found seemingly impossible one-sided magnets swirling along the surface of hematite. The rules of physics (the ones we know of, ...
