The ability to switch magnetism, or, in other words, to change the orientation of a material's magnetic moments, using only electricity, could open new opportunities for the efficient storage of data ...

Over the past two decades, spintronics has emerged as one of the most promising frontiers in nanoelectronics, seeking to exploit the intrinsic angular momentum, or spin, of electrons to carry and ...

A research team led by Ryo Shimano of the University of Tokyo has successfully visualized two distinct mechanisms through which up and down spins, inherent properties of electrons, switch in an ...

New pharmaceuticals, cleaner fuels, biodegradable plastics: in order to meet society's needs, chemists have to develop new synthesis methods to obtain new products that do not exist in their natural ...

The global shift toward industrial automation and the rapid integration of renewable energy sources have fundamentally transformed the requirements for modern power distribution networks. As grids ...

During a renovation project in Old Main around 1969, workers told a student he could take anything he wanted since all the scrap would end up in the dumpster. So, not surprisingly, the student chose ...
