Chang’e 5 lunar samples analyzed with quantum sensors clarify how ancient lunar dynamo activity and asteroid impacts jointly produced the Moon’s remnant magnetism.

A single, ultrafast laser pulse has flipped the polarity of a ferromagnet without first heating it to the brink of losing its ...

Small screws disappear on the floor faster than you can blink–and the annoying search begins. However, there’s a simple trick that makes life easier for many DIY enthusiasts: A magnetic screwdriver ...

Electrons inherently carry both spin and orbital angular momentum (i.e., properties that help to understand the rotating motions and behavior of particles). While some physicists and engineers have ...

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 ...

The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a ...

Conventional antiferromagnetic materials exhibit net zero magnetization and spin-degenerate energy bands, making them incompatible with current memory technologies that rely on net magnetization. A ...

The reliability of data storage and writing speed in advanced magnetic devices depend on drastic, complex changes in microscopic magnetic domain structures. However, it is extremely challenging to ...

An international research team have observed “orbital pumping,” a new phenomenon in which orbital currents are generated from the precession of magnetization in magnetic materials. Microwave-induced ...

Chiral phonons excited by the circularly polarized terahertz light pulses generate ultrafast magnetization in cerium fluoride. Fluorine ions (red, fuchsia) are set into motion by circularly polarized ...
