Physicists from Russia, Chile, Brazil, Spain, and the UK, have studied how the magnetic properties change in 3D nanowires, promising materials for various magnetic applications, depending on the shape of their cross-section.
Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity without any resistance. They have excellent potential and offer a macroscopic glimpse into quantum phenomena, which can generally be observed only at the atomic level.
In the early 1980s, the advent of scanning probe microscopes revolutionized imaging, paving a way into the nanoscale realm.
Today's digital world generates vast amounts of data every second. Hence, there is a need for memory chips that can store more data in less space, as well as the ability to read and write that data faster while using less energy.
Why is studying spin properties of one-dimensional quantum nanowires important
The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) reports that a team of researchers under Dr Kyoung-Whan Kim from the Center for Spintronics has come up with a new principle for spin memory devices—regarded as the next-generation memory devices.
At the University of Basel, physicists have designed a compact instrument capable of detecting very small magnetic fields.
Some memory devices where information from smartphones and computers is stored are based on a very precise control of the magnetic properties, at nanoscopic scale.
Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, or Chardonnay - when you reach for your favourite white, it's the clean, clear sparkle that first catches your eye.
Graphene is a diamagnetic material, this is, unable of becoming magnetic. However, a triangular piece of graphene is predicted to be magnetic.
