Today's computers store information in magnetic hard drives, keeping files safe even when the device is powered off. But to ...

A research group at The University of Tokyo has discovered a new principle by which helical chiral molecules acquire spin ...

A team that has developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive in detecting off-axis magnetic fields at ...

Deep in the core of most galaxies, hidden by spinning clouds of gas and dust, black holes spin like cosmic engines. These giants — some are billions of times heavier than our sun — can shoot out ...

Researchers proposed a completely novel strategy to apply an external magnetic field to modulate spin states, and thereby improve electrocatalytic performance. (Nanowerk News) The job of a catalyst is ...

A research team has taken a major step forward in the field of spintronics, a technology that uses not only the charge but ...

"Most of the external layers of a massive star are removed during the supernova, but some material falls back, making the neutron star spin faster." When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Satellite data reveal that a weak region in Earth's magnetic field has grown by an area roughly half the size of continental Europe in the last 10 years.

Tongcang Li, a professor of physics and electrical and computer engineering, leads a team that has developed the BNNTs with optically active spin qubits. He also is on the faculty of the Purdue ...
