Vortex is ubiquitous in nature including spiral arms of galaxy, planet rotation, hurricane (tornado). A vortex is a typical and well-known magnetic domain structure in dimensionally confined ...

Twisting atomically thin magnetic layers does more than reshape their electronics—it can create giant, topological magnetic textures. In chromium triiodide, researchers observed skyrmion-like patterns ...

Just as electrons flow through an electrical conductor, magnetic excitations can travel through certain materials. Such excitations, known in physics as 'magnons' in analogy to the electron, could ...

A 2026 review published by Nature has tightened the criteria for what counts as genuine evidence of altermagnetism, a ...

Spin waves are collective oscillations of electron spins in magnetic materials. They represent a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which electrons’ angular momentum or spin fluctuates in a coordinated ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

A new study conducted at the University of Vienna, the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, and the Helmholtz Centers in Berlin and Dresden takes an important step in the ...

Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic vortex-ring-like light patterns. These structured light vortices, known as skyrmions, are highly stable and ...

Controlling this state paves the way for the creation of more intelligent, reconfigurable and energy-efficient devices that mimic the brain. The use of Big Data has multiplied the energy demand in ...
