Controlling magnetism in a device is not easy; unusually large magnetic fields or lots of electricity are needed, which are bulky, slow, expensive and/or waste energy. But that looks soon to change, ...

A long-standing mystery in spintronics has just been shaken up. A strange electrical effect called unusual magnetoresistance shows up almost everywhere scientists look—even in systems where the ...

Researchers used a nonlinear metasurface to experimentally demonstrate skyrmions that can be switched between electric and magnetic modes in free-space toroidal terahertz light pulses. WASHINGTON — ...

If you have lots of hanging projects—pictures, mirrors, shelves, and the like—a dedicated stud finder is a helpful tool to have on hand. There are two types of stud finders: magnetic and electric, ...

THROUGHOUT history, humans have found ways to make their lives easier. Arguably, the machine that has most eased the burden of work for humans is the electric motor – a device that transforms ...
