Physicists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have observed a magnetic phenomenon called the "anomalous spin-orbit torque" (ASOT) for the first time. Professor Virginia Lorenz and ...

Over the last 40 years, permanent-magnet couplings have come into the manufacturing forefront. This technology can operate at high speeds without contact or wear of active components, and at ...

Researchers created platinum-mixed metallic magnetic nanofilms that are 5x more efficient -- the ultimate energy-saving solution. Researchers at Tohoku University have achieved a significant ...

Physicists have observed a magnetic phenomenon called the 'anomalous spin-orbit torque' (ASOT) for the first time. Scientists have made this observation, demonstrating that there exists competition ...

When circularly polarized light is incident perpendicular to the surface of a nano-thin film of cobalt-platinum alloy, which consists of cobalt and platinum, an opto-magnetic torque is generated (red ...
