Researchers discover a new kind of magnetismBy David L. Chandler, MITNature
Skyrmions are a type of quasiparticle with properties that could lead to the next generation of data storage and transfer. Ames Laboratory recently gained great insight into these structures, but scientists are still trying to understand the dynamics of their formation. Ames Laboratory recently discove...
"That's where this tool comes in," he said. "I kind of equate it to a military Humvee. If you had no idea what that vehicle was for, you might be able to kick out its headlights. And then you would notice it only travels during the daytime, not at night. If you pop the tire...
The same kind of system, the researchers, say, could be applied to producing different kinds of manipulations, such as moving the positions of the particles. Ultimately, this new principle might be applied to moving particles around inside a body, using light to control their position and activi...
Russell says that this is the first time anyone has observed ferromagnetism in a liquid rather than a solid. He admits that he cannot explain how the magnetism persists, given that the distance between nanoparticles within the bulk of the droplets is far larger than the typical separation of co...
"Now we can start to look at whether climate change will impact male and female Galápagos penguins differently, and what kind of strain this might put on their ability to survive as a species," said Cappello. El Niño events can take a toll on Galápagos penguins. Boersma’s team is ...
A rover scanning the surface of Mars for evidence of life might want to check for rocks that look like pasta, researchers report in the journal Astrobiology.
But magnetism still holds secrets. Researchers have recently found signs of a wholly new class of magnetism, one with characteristics of each of the two conventional kinds, ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. More than 200 materials should exhibit the newfound phenomenon, according to theoretical ...
