All quarks and leptons – such as electrons and muons – have a magnetic moment due to their intrinsic angular momentum or “spin”. Quantum theory dictates that the magnetic moment is related to the spin ...

Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

Magnetic materials have become indispensable to various technologies that support our modern society, such as data storage ...

Beyond memory, antiferromagnets also have potential in computing, particularly in “magnetic neural networks.” Special ...

Liquid crystal is a state of matter that exhibits properties of both liquid and solid. It can flow like a liquid, while its constituent molecules are aligned as in a solid. Liquid crystal is ...

Addition of iridium leads to increased electron localization and stronger spin-orbit coupling between 3d electrons of iron and cobalt and 5d electrons of iridium, significantly enhancing the magnetic ...

And while this magnetic levitation motor does not break ... It’s not a motor that can do any useful work, spinning at a stately pace beneath its bell-jar enclosure as it does.

Empa researchers from the nanotech@surfaces laboratory have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model ...
