Magnetic sensors quietly underpin everything from smartphone compasses to the stability systems that keep electric vehicles on the road, and the race to make them smaller, faster and more sensitive is ...

Artificial intelligence is colliding with a hard physical limit: the energy and heat of today’s silicon-based chips. As ...

A NIMS research team has developed a new experimental method capable of rapidly evaluating numerous material compositions by measuring anomalous Hall resistivity 30 times faster than conventional ...

A new method for combining magnetic elements with semiconductors—which are vital materials for computers and other electronic devices—was unveiled by a research team led by the California NanoSystems ...

Modern electronics are a far cry from what Michael Faraday, the pioneer of electrical gadgetry, can ever have imagined possible. But he’d surely be pleased, if only because the magnet, the component ...

New research shows that light’s magnetic field is far more influential than scientists once believed. The team found that this magnetic component significantly affects how light rotates as it passes ...

In 1845, physicist Michael Faraday provided the first direct evidence that electromagnetism and light are related. Now, it turns out that this connection is even stronger than Faraday imagined. In his ...

Molecule-based magnets like vanadium tetracyanoethylene are extremely sensitive to air, impeding their use in practical quantum devices. Researchers coated vanadium tetracyanoethylene with an ...
