Scientists discovered a new Hall effect driven by spin currents in noncollinear antiferromagnets, offering a path to more ...

A new trick for illuminating the internal ordering within a special type of magnet could help engineers build better memory-storage devices ... materials in which the magnetic dipoles, or spins ...

Traditionally, magnetic materials have been divided into two main categories: ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. Over the past few years, however, physicists have uncovered the existence of ...

The first electronic storage medium, magnetic tape is made of flexible plastic with one side coated with a ferromagnetic material. The data are recorded as binary digits (bits) in the form of ...

Data is stored in binary form on secondary storage devices. Magnetic devices are fairly cheap ... Optical media also come in different types: Solid state devices require little power, making ...
