If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...

The electrical manipulation of magnetism and magnetic properties has been achieved across a number of different material systems. For example, applying an electric field to a ferromagnetic material ...

Coral Gables, Fla. (Feb. 17, 2014) -- There is a big effort in industry to produce electrical devices with more and faster memory and logic. Magnetic memory elements, such as in a hard drive, and in ...

Conventional electronics process information leveraging the electrical charge of electrons. Over the past few decades, some ...

Only a few elements in the periodic table are inherently magnetic. Iron is perhaps the best known, but cobalt and nickel also exhibit this type of ferromagnetism. Scientists have recently discovered, ...

Researchers have demonstrated an innovative method to control magnetism in materials using an energy-efficient electric field. The discovery focuses on materials known as magnetoelectrics, which offer ...

Most materials we use in everyday life expand slightly when heated and return to their original size when cooled. In addition ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. When you talk about the fundamental forces in the universe, there are ...

"This paper is the first to demonstrate the inverse spin Hall effect in a range of organic semiconductors with unprecedented sensitivity," although a 2013 study by other researchers demonstrated it ...

Magnetic skyrmions – quasiparticles with a vortex-like structure – show much promise as storage bits for next-generation computer memories and logic devices, but tracking their motion is no easy task.
