Researchers developed 3D printed, muscle-inspired magnetic actuators that push, pull, crawl, and grasp. The research paper describes a family of soft actuators that convert applied magnetic fields ...

Antiferromagnetic materials, with antiparallel atomic spins and zero net magnetization, are fast and resistant to external ...

A team of researchers at Rice University has engineered a new version of a well-known multiferroic that exhibits orders of ...

The future development of functional magnetic devices based on ultrafast optical manipulation of spins requires an understanding of the depth-dependent spin dynamics across the interfaces of complex ...

Magnetic domains can take on a wide range of structures. In certain soft magnetic materials, they form complex zig-zag ...

A compass always points north—or does it? Magnets normally maintain a stable direction of magnetization, pointing from south ...

Consequently, this energy transfer causes the rearrangement into a magnetic structure, which is stabilized by the subsequent rapid cooling. In follow-up experiments, the researchers aim to observe ...

Researchers did this by mixing bismuth ferrite with barium titanate while growing the material as a thin film on a substrate ...

Using the circular vibration of surface acoustic waves, a collaborative research group have successfully controlled the magnetization of a ferromagnetic thin film. Their research was published in the ...

Rice University researchers have developed a modified bismuth ferrite multiferroic that delivers 10 times higher magnetization and 100 times stronger magnetoelectric coupling at room temperature than ...
