A new wave in ultrafast magnetic control

Researchers have developed an innovative method to study ultrafast magnetism in materials. They have shown the generation and application of magnetic field steps, in which a magnetic field is turned on in a matter of picoseconds.

A Lighter, Smarter Magnetoreceptive Electronic Skin

Imagine navigating a virtual reality with contact lenses or operating your smartphone under water — this and more could soon be a reality thanks to innovative e-skins. A research team led by Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has developed an electronic skin that detects and precisely tracks magnetic fields with a single global sensor. This artificial skin is not only light, transparent and permeable, but also mimics the interactions of…

The researchers of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) have developed an innovative method to study ultra-destructive magnetism in materials. They have shown the generation and application of magnetic field steps, in which a magnetic field is activated in a question of picoseconds. The work has [...]
