In some materials, spins form complex magnetic structures within the nanometer and micrometer scale in which the magnetization direction twists and curls along specific directions. Examples of such ...

A long standing mystery in spintronics has revolved around why some promising crystalline materials stubbornly refuse to conduct electricity the way theory predicts. That puzzle, rooted in how ...

(Nanowerk News) Electronics play a pivotal role in today's information society. Yet only the electron charge in electronic devices is at play, making energy dissipation an increasingly pressing issue ...

Researchers at Tohoku University used state-of-the-art semiconductor fabrication technologies to demonstrate how we could be ...

The twisting direction of metal nanoparticles is controlled to be right- or left-handed by adding chiral molecules, which are adsorbed onto the particle surface, during the electrochemical reduction ...

In a new publication in Nature Materials, an international team of researchers has developed groundbreaking artificial chains of the iconic "olympicene" molecules to realize the antiferromagnetic (AF) ...

(Nanowerk News) Twistronics isn’t a new dance move, exercise equipment, or new music fad. No, it’s much cooler than any of that. It is an exciting new development in quantum physics and material ...

Spintronics, also known as spin electronics, is a rapidly developing field that explores the potential of utilising the spin of electrons in solid-state devices. Spin is one of the three inherent ...

Purdue University doctoral student Yang Xu, lead author of a new research paper on "topological insulators," an emerging class of materials that could make possible "spintronic" devices and practical ...

Quantum researchers twist double bilayers of an antiferromagnet to demonstrate tunable moiré magnetism. Twistronics isn't a new dance move, exercise equipment, or new music fad. No, it's much cooler ...
