Researchers have observed three-dimensional magnetic vortex rings in a real-world magnetic material for the first time. Contrary to theoretical predictions, these rings – which are spin configurations ...

Three-dimensional magnetic vortices have been discovered by scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf in Germany together with colleagues from the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland ...

Magnon frequency combs may make it possible to link and interact with a wide range of physical systems, opening new pathways ...

Just as electrons flow through an electrical conductor, magnetic excitations can travel through certain materials. Such excitations, known in physics as 'magnons' in analogy to the electron, could ...

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have uncovered previously unobserved oscillation states—so-called Floquet states—in tiny magnetic vortices. Unlike earlier experiments, ...

Magnetometry exploiting color center defects in diamond probes and magneto-optic imaging have been found to complement each other. This supports progress towards the creation of more effective data ...

Magnets often harbour hidden beauty. Take a simple fridge magnet: Somewhat counterintuitively, it is 'sticky' on one side but not the other. The secret lies in the way the magnetisation is arranged in ...

Analyzing magnetic nanostructures with a high resolution is a test-and-measurement challenge, but it’s important for both advanced physics insight as well as real-world products such as high-density ...
