Working at nanoscale dimensions, a team of scientists led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory revealed a new way to measure high-speed fluctuations in magnetic materials.

Concept of the helimagnet-based memory devices. The directions of the atomic magnetic moments, depicted by the colored allows, are arranged into a spiral. Chirality, the right- and left-handed ...

Magnetic (anti)skyrmions are microscopically small whirls that are found in special classes of magnetic materials. They could be used to host digital data. A team of scientists has now made the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Internet searches, decade-old emails and on-demand video offerings help contribute to electricity consumption by America’s server farms and data centers amounting to more than 2 ...

Hot stuff Heat-assisted magnetic recording is set to boost the storage capacity of hard disks still further. (Courtesy: Seagate Technology) When it comes to storing data, you might think that magnetic ...

A new kind of magnet may be quietly rewriting the rules of data storage. Researchers in Japan have shown that a common oxide material, when engineered precisely enough, can exhibit a rare magnetic ...

Better magnetic storage devices for computers and other electronics could result from new work by researchers in the United States and Germany. Their findings demonstrate that chirality – a ...

Warnings about magnets and gadgets have been passed down like tech folklore, often without much explanation. The reality is more nuanced: some electronics are genuinely vulnerable to magnetic fields, ...

A team of researchers has proposed a new concept for magnet-based memory devices, which might revolutionize information storage devices owing to their potential for large-scale integration, ...

(Phys.org)—Scientists have built a battery containing a magnetic fluid that can be moved in any direction by applying a magnetic field. The magnetically controlled battery concept could be especially ...
