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 ...

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

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

A compass always points north—or does it? Magnets normally maintain a stable direction of magnetization, pointing from south ...

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

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

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 ...

Spintronics -- based on the principles of electron charge and magnetic spin -- goes beyond the limits of conventional electronics. However, spintronic devices are yet to see advances, because ...

Engineers at Rice University in the U.S. have developed a new room-temperature multiferroic material ...

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