Researchers developed 3D printed, muscle-inspired magnetic actuators that push, pull, crawl, and grasp. The research paper describes a family of soft actuators that convert applied magnetic fields ...

Antiferromagnetic materials, with antiparallel atomic spins and zero net magnetization, are fast and resistant to external ...

Altermagnets, which exhibit momentum-dependent spin splitting without spin–orbit coupling (SOC) or net magnetization, have recently attracted significant international attention. The realization and ...

A team of researchers at Rice University has engineered a new version of a well-known multiferroic that exhibits orders of ...

Magnetic domains can take on a wide range of structures. In certain soft magnetic materials, they form complex zig-zag ...

Consequently, this energy transfer causes the rearrangement into a magnetic structure, which is stabilized by the subsequent rapid cooling. In follow-up experiments, the researchers aim to observe ...

The future development of functional magnetic devices based on ultrafast optical manipulation of spins requires an understanding of the depth-dependent spin dynamics across the interfaces of complex ...

Researchers did this by mixing bismuth ferrite with barium titanate while growing the material as a thin film on a substrate ...

For 70 years, we have assumed that 'attempt time' in nanomagnets is one nanosecond. For the first time ever, this value was ...

Rice University researchers have developed a modified bismuth ferrite multiferroic that delivers 10 times higher magnetization and 100 times stronger magnetoelectric coupling at room temperature than ...
