Researchers have uncovered a new way to generate exotic oscillation states in tiny magnetic structures—using only minimal ...

Physicists in Europe and the US have developed a new technique for reversing the "core polarization" of the tiny magnetic whirlpools that exist in certain materials. The reversal, which can be ...

HOUSTON, Sept. 7, 2006 -- In a research first that could lead to a new generation of hard drives capable of storing thousands of movies per square inch, physicists at Rice University have decoded the ...

Magnets often harbour hidden beauty. Take a simple fridge magnet: Somewhat counterintuitively, it is 'sticky' on one side but not the other. The secret lies in the way the magnetisation is arranged in ...
