[Moritz v. Sivers] has a knack for making his own displays, which are typically based on some obscure physical effect. Magnetic viewing films, those thin plastic sheets that change color in response ...

Magnetic skyrmions are stable quasi-particles that can be generated in (some) ferromagnetic materials with conceivable solutions in electronics, assuming they can be created and moved at will. The ...

Engineers have proposed a satellite-aided drought monitoring method that can adequately represent the complex drought conditions into a single integrated drought index. A team of researchers, ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in graphene and magnetic waves in specially engineered materials. By designing a ...

Scientists searching for magnetic skyrmions – quasiparticles with a vortex-like structure – have instead stumbled upon something even more unusual. The researchers at the University of Warwick, UK, ...

A team of researchers from the City University of Hong Kong, South University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, and Carnegie Mellon University of Pittsburgh, have published a Science Robotics ...

Chemists made magnetically powered robots able to move faster with a clever design trick. They created a flexible film that has little pockets of magnetic powder in it, instead of mixing the powder ...

For the first time, researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have recorded a "3D film" of magnetic processes on the nanometer scale. This reveals a variety of dynamics inside the material, ...
