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 ...

Iron-rich hematite, commonly found in rocks and soil, turns out to have magnetic properties that make it a promising material for ultrafast next-generation computing. In 2023, EPFL researchers ...

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 ...

The field of spintronics has, so far, focused on magnetic systems with uncompensated order, i.e. ferromagnets and ferrimagnets. Both these systems can be easily studied using conventional techniques, ...

Our data-driven world demands more—more capacity, more efficiency, more computing power. To meet society's insatiable need for electronic speed, physicists have been pushing the burgeoning field of ...

Switching of spin structure in an antiferromagnetic device using electric current. The device temperature rises to the point where thermal as well as electromagnetic (spin torque) effects contribute ...

Conventional CMOS scaling has entered a state of terminal decline. That's the bottom-line takeaway, when you cut through the marketing spiel from companies and look at the expected improvements ...
