News for magnetism

When atoms in a crystal rotate, they follow the same laws of nature as a carousel. But at the atomic level, something unusual happens: the angular momentum can reverse direction. Physicists from Dresden have now observed this effect directly for the first time — providing new insight into a physics question that has puzzled researchers for more than 100 years.

Searching for the universal adapter: discovery in magnetic vortices could help

Tiny magnetic vortices exhibit surprising behavior. Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf have discovered oscillation states that were previously unknown. The trick is that the effect can be generated with a tiny amount of energy. The discovery could help to connect different computer technologies. | more
