Advanced materials with finely tuned electric and magnetic properties are the goal of all materials scientists. More energy efficient electronic devices, better performing hybrid electric vehicles ...

The particle-like behaviour of magnetic skyrmions is exploited to perform a fundamental neuromorphic computing operation: the weighted summation of synaptic signals. The use of skyrmions enables a ...

Converting a magnet to a non-magnet is called demagnetisation. Magnets are made from magnetic metals – iron, nickel and cobalt. These are the only pure metals that can be turned into a magnet.

Scientists have found an elusive third form of magnetism that could help solve a longstanding puzzle about superconductors.

Physicists have long believed that it is impossible to alter the magnetic properties of rare earth elements. However, for the first time, a new study shows that laser pulses have the power to ...

is a scanning probe microscopy technique that allows the imaging and characterization of magnetic properties of materials at the nanoscale. MFM is based on the detection of magnetic interactions ...
