Twisting atomically thin magnetic layers does more than reshape their electronics—it can create giant, topological magnetic textures. In chromium triiodide, researchers observed skyrmion-like patterns ...

A subtle twist between atomically thin magnetic layers can generate unexpectedly large and complex spin structures.

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are exciting materials. In a recent breakthrough, researchers have used deep learning to predict SMMs from 20,000 metal complexes. The predictions were made solely based ...

By applying the Kerr effect, Kerr microscopy facilitates the analysis of magnetic domains in steel alloys, supporting ...

Using a diamond needle tipped with a single electron, physicists have found seemingly impossible one-sided magnets swirling along the surface of hematite. The rules of physics (the ones we know of, ...

Creating strong permanent magnets without using so-called rare earth elements is an ongoing topic of research. An interesting contestant here are iron nitride magnets (α”-Fe 16 N 2), which have the ...
