In magnetic materials with antisymmetric exchange interactions, novel particle-like spin textures called magnetic skyrmions can appear and be manipulated by electrons. First observed in 2009, they ...

Magnetic skyrmions are particle-like objects that can be used as information carriers in memory and computing devices.

In magnetic materials with antisymmetric exchange interactions, novel particle-like spin textures called magnetic skyrmions can appear and be ...

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...

Scientists develop a microscopic heat engine that achieves 100% efficiency, accomplishing what seemed impossible.

We want to give them that hands-on, interactive experience,' said Ryan Mercer, an Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University STEM ...

Scientists have uncovered evidence of classic turbulence occurring within swarms of rising gas bubbles. An international team of scientists from the (HZDR), Johns Hopkins University, and Duke Universi ...

The same pulling force that causes “tears” in a glass of wine also shapes embryos. It’s another example of how genes exploit ...

At the bottom of the ocean, where metal-rich hydrothermal vents exhale poison, a bright yellow worm has mastered an ...

Scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information.

Small concentrations of active molecules trigger a liquid transition in supercooled water even at low temperatures ...

A tiny, particle-sized engine that runs at temperatures approaching the innermost core of the Sun could open a window into ...
