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

Researchers demonstrate how to change the frequency of the collective magnetic oscillations of a material by up to 40% by ...

By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University scientists have developed a new crystalline material whose magnetic behavior ...

Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious ...

Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating ...

Magnetism is usually taught as a story of straight lines, with field arrows marching neatly from north to south. In a lab at Florida State University, that picture has just been shattered by a new ...

Scientists from IBM and the German Center for Free-Electron Laser Science (CFEL) have built the world's smallest magnetic data storage unit. It uses just twelve atoms per bit, the basic unit of ...

Scientists from MIT have been blasting magnets with lasers, which is more scientific than it sounds. Researchers working with antiferromagnetic material have devised a way to control the magnetic ...

College Park, MD (April 19, 2011) — Using well-known patterned media, a team of researchers in France has figured out a way to double the areal density of information by essentially cutting the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The FMS conference has moved from a concentration on solid state storage to other types of storage as well. In this article we ...
