Researchers developed 3D printed, muscle-inspired magnetic actuators that push, pull, crawl, and grasp. The research paper describes a family of soft actuators that convert applied magnetic fields ...

Magnetic domain walls, the narrow boundaries that separate tiny regions of opposing magnetization inside a material, were ...

A compass always points north—or does it? Magnets normally maintain a stable direction of magnetization, pointing from south ...

Magnetic domains can take on a wide range of structures. In certain soft magnetic materials, they form complex zig-zag ...

The rapid increase in electric vehicle adoption in recent years has highlighted a crucial issue: the energy conversion ...

A Nature Materials study has directly imaged magnetic domain walls in thin films during femtosecond laser pulses, finding them stationary despite rapid magnetization changes. This overturns earlier ...

Consequently, this energy transfer causes the rearrangement into a magnetic structure, which is stabilized by the subsequent rapid cooling. In follow-up experiments, the researchers aim to observe ...

The future development of functional magnetic devices based on ultrafast optical manipulation of spins requires an understanding of the depth-dependent spin dynamics across the interfaces of complex ...

On a breezy afternoon last autumn in Cambridge, Mass., in a laboratory thrumming with the huff-whish-huff sound of ...

For 70 years, we have assumed that 'attempt time' in nanomagnets is one nanosecond. For the first time ever, this value was ...
