This study focuses on the direct-drive ultrasonic resonant motors called PILine ® motors. Their direct-drive design enables ultra-low response times and highly precise positioning without any backlash ...

Scientists have cracked a century-old physics mystery by detecting magnetic signals in non-magnetic metals using only light and a revamped laser technique. Previously undetectable, these faint ...

Two recent innovative projects that are being enabled by lasers. How lasers make it possible to assess the very subtle magnetism of “non-magnetic” metals. The use of lasers to quantify ...

For the first time, scientists have magnetized a non-magnetic material at room temperature, inducing a quantum property that they say could pave the way for ultra-fast computing. The "switchable" ...

In a recently published article in IEEE Electron Devices Magazine the authors, I was one of them, looked at the impact of external magnetic fields on spin tunnel torque magnetic random-access memories ...

Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) is a quantum mechanical effect observed in thin film structures composed of alternating ferromagnetic and non-magnetic layers. It is characterized by a significant change ...

Magnetic separation has become increasingly popular in biomedical science and industry. This technology uses magnetic properties of micro/nano-sized particles to separate macromolecules of interest, ...

Artifacts from the Iron Age have revealed an intense historical magnetic anomaly in the Middle East. Could using a similar approach elsewhere help us unravel the mysteries of Earth's magnetic field?
