Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic vortex-ring-like light patterns. These structured light vortices, known as skyrmions, are highly stable and ...

A laser trick in nanometer-thin magnets hints at faster storage and computing without exotic laboratory conditions ...

Scientists have used light to visualize magnetic domains, and manipulated these regions using an electric field, in a quantum antiferromagnet. This method allows real-time observation of magnetic ...

Researchers have developed a new type of memory cell that can both store information and do high-speed, high-efficiency calculations. The memory cell enables users to run high-speed computations ...

Magnets tuned with lasers at room temperature could lead to faster hard drives and a new generation of computer chips.
