Ferromagnets are characterized by a magnetization that has long been used to store information. The magnetization is largely due to localized electron spins with their associated magnetic moments ...

Over the last 40 years, permanent-magnet couplings have come into the manufacturing forefront. This technology can operate at high speeds without contact or wear of active components, and at ...

Physicists have observed a magnetic phenomenon called the 'anomalous spin-orbit torque' (ASOT) for the first time. Scientists have made this observation, demonstrating that there exists competition ...

When circularly polarized light is incident perpendicular to the surface of a nano-thin film of cobalt-platinum alloy, which consists of cobalt and platinum, an opto-magnetic torque is generated (red ...

Scientists from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have proposed a new deep correlation ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have achieved a significant advancement in opto-magnetic technology, observing an opto-magnetic torque approximately five times more efficient than in conventional ...

A Hall effect magnetic torque sensor claims to boost EPS drivability for safer, sustainable motoring TT Electronics has introduced the SX-4462 Hall effect magnetic non-contact torque sensor, a ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that the magnetic component of light plays a direct role in the Faraday effect, overturning a 180-year-old assumption that only its ...

There's rarely time to write about every cool science-y story that comes our way. So this year, we're once again running a special Twelve Days of Christmas series of posts, highlighting one science ...

Researchers created platinum-mixed metallic magnetic nanofilms that are 5x more efficient -- the ultimate energy-saving solution. Researchers at Tohoku University have achieved a significant ...

Physicists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have observed a magnetic phenomenon called the "anomalous spin-orbit torque" (ASOT) for the first time. Professor Virginia Lorenz and ...
