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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from NTNU are shedding light on magnetic materials at small scales by creating movies with the help of some extremely bright x-rays. The tiny square magnets, created by ...

Stabilising curve: The arrows show the remnant magnetisation of a toroidal nanomagnet. On the outer edge (the right) we can see a vortex where the magnetisation spirals inwards to a point. An ...

For the first time, researchers have recorded a '3D film' of magnetic processes on the nanometer scale. This reveals a variety of dynamics inside the material, including the motion of swirling ...
