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.

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 ...

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 ...

Consequently, this energy transfer causes the rearrangement into a magnetic structure, which is stabilized by the subsequent rapid cooling. In follow-up experiments, the researchers aim to observe ...

A single, ultrafast laser pulse has flipped the polarity of a ferromagnet without first heating it to the brink of losing its magnetism, pointing to a new way to write data at extreme speeds with far ...

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 ...

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 ...

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