Magnetic storage devices, like a computer's hard disk drive, utilize magnets to represent binary data. However, as these ...

Magnetic switches like those in computers also might be used to manipulate individual strands of DNA for high-speed applications such as gene sequencing, experiments at the National Institute of ...

In the future, a new type of computer may be able to learn much like you do—by experience rather than endless repetition or instruction. Researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas, along with ...

When researchers irradiate a thin layer of nickel iodide with an ultrafast laser pulse, corkscrew-shaped features called “chiral helical magnetoelectric oscillations” arise. These features could be ...

Information theory and the second law of thermodynamics dictate that a logical operation in a computer must consume a minimum amount of energy. Today's computers consume a million times more energy ...

Materials with high magnetoelectric coupling could be useful in novel devices such as magnetic computer memories, chemical sensors and quantum computers. When researchers irradiate a thin layer of ...
