Although most of us simultaneously accept the premise that magnets are quite literally everywhere and that few people know how they work, a major problem with magnets today is that they tend to rely ...

Ferromagnetism has long been studied in a wide range of periodic crystals and amorphous materials. In quasicrystals (QCs), ...

A magnet is an important part of devices like smartphones, automobiles, and many more. Most of these magnets are made using rare-earth materials, which are expensive and scarce on the market. Also, ...

Osaka, Japan – One of the most important tasks in modern information technologies is controlling spin directions in magnets. State-of-the-art hard disk drives and large-volume magnetic storage used in ...

Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals—a breakthrough that could significantly advance clean energy ...

Twisting atomically thin magnetic layers does more than reshape their electronics—it can create giant, topological magnetic textures. In chromium triiodide, researchers observed skyrmion-like patterns ...

It is critical to always be aware of how material anisotropy might affect a design. A case in point is how anisotropy played a part in an individual getting injured when he tried to loosen the ...

A new study in Nature introduces a scalable method for creating magnetorheological fibers and fabrics that actively change shape, stiffness, and motion in response to magnetic fields. This is ...

Advanced Magnet Lab (AML) has been awarded a $2 million Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) contract for the qualification of domestically made high-grade sintered NdFeB (neodymium-iron-boron) magnets. The ...

One of the most important tasks in modern information technologies is controlling spin directions in magnets. State-of-the-art hard disk drives and large-volume magnetic storage used in data centers ...
