The experimental setup, including a closeup of the rotor and floater magnet. The closeup is an image taken with the high-speed camera and where the floater magnet has been painted to indicate its ...

A rare spin effect once limited to large crystals is now seen in ultrathin magnetic films, pointing to new ways of building ...

Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University researchers have developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive ...

By applying a temperature gradient, they created a device that generates a magnon spin current within a magnetic insulator, ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

Researchers in South Korea have created magnetic nanohelices that can control electron spin at room temperature. Spintronics, also called spin electronics, explores information processing by using the ...

Purdue University researchers have developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive in detecting off-axis ...

Tongcang Li, a professor of physics and electrical and computer engineering, leads a team that has developed the BNNTs with optically active spin qubits. He also is on the faculty of the Purdue ...
