Illuminating quantum magnets: Light unveils magnetic domains
When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a closer look. When magnets draw in physicists, they take a quantum look. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the…
Transforming common soft magnets into a next-generation thermoelectric conversion materials by 3 minutes heat treatment
A research team from NIMS and Nagoya University has demonstrated that an iron-based amorphous alloy, widely used as a soft magnetic material in transformers and motors, can be transformed into…
Controlling waves in magnets with superconductors for the first time
Quantum physicists at Delft University of Technology have shown that it’s possible to control and manipulate spin waves on a chip using superconductors for the first time. These tiny waves…
Moving muscle fibers with magnets ‘programs’ how they align within tissue
Stimulating muscle fibers with magnets causes them to grow in the same direction, aligning muscle cells within tissue, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Boston University investigators report October 20…
