UD researchers develop optical method to detect magnetic behavior of antiferromagnets, paving the way for advanced computing ...

Conventional hard disks are based on ferromagnets—materials in which the magnetic dipoles, or spins, associated with each atom all point in the same direction. This alignment gives the material a net ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the solar wind, high-energy particle transport, and galaxy formation. Small-scale ...

Scientists have used light to visualize magnetic domains, and manipulated these regions using an electric field, in a quantum antiferromagnet. This method allows real-time observation of magnetic ...

Light beams of varying intensities (yellow cylinders) help visualize magnetic domains (light and dark areas), separated by domain walls (red lines). When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a ...
