A new optical device allows researchers to generate and switch between two stable, donut-shaped light patterns called ...

Small battery devices need magnetic switches that use power and take up space. These switches detect magnets and help devices run longer.

Scientists in Japan have developed a device that enables external magnetic field control of magnetic injection current in the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), a phenomenon not yet used in commercial ...

Researchers found a way to fully suppress superconductivity in junctions, opening paths to non-volatile memory and energy efficient information technologies. (Nanowerk News) Superconductivity is a ...

Quantum mechanics states that electrons have two stable spins—up and down. With the advent of nanoscale fabrication methods, device companies are harnessing this knowledge to create devices. The ...

A quantum 'miracle material' could support magnetic switching, a team of researchers has shown. A quantum "miracle material" could support magnetic switching, a team of researchers at the University ...

University of Leicester engineers have unveiled a concept for a device designed to magnetically "cloak" sensitive components, making them invisible to detection. A magnetic cloak is a device that ...

Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic vortex-ring-like light patterns. These structured light vortices, known as skyrmions, are highly stable and ...
