In collaboration with scientists in Germany, EPFL researchers have demonstrated that the spiral geometry of tiny, twisted ...

Computers that no longer overheat and operate at lightning speed, while consuming much less energy. This prospect could well become reality thanks to an astonishing discovery that links two ...

Experiments show that a time crystal based on magnons can interact with mechanical waves without being destroyed. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here ...

Today’s computers store information in magnetic hard drives, keeping files safe even when the device is powered off. But to run programs and process information, computers rely on electricity. Each ...

Is it wizardry? Physicists at the University of Konstanz have succeeded in changing the properties of a material in a non-thermal way with the help of light and magnons. The new process is not only ...

Imagine you could change the properties of a material so that it would almost magically turn into a different material. You need neither a magic wand nor a wonder potion. The process takes place just ...

Devices taking advantage of the collective quantum behavior of spin excitations in magnetic materials - known as "magnons" - have the potential to improve quantum computing devices. However, using ...

Researchers have figured out how to use magnons — collective vibrations of the magnetic spins of atoms — for next-generation information technologies, including quantum technologies with magnetic ...

An Arabic production of Wajdi Mouawad’s 1991 work, planned to open in Lebanon, was canceled because of his perceived ties to Israel. It found a home in France. By Laura Cappelle The critic Laura ...
