First, some background. Magnetic domains are small regions of uniform magnetization in a material. The narrow boundaries separating different magnetization orientations are called domain walls; within ...

Three-dimensional magnetic vortices have recently been discovered. Vortex states are potential antennas for the ultrafast, wireless data transmission of tomorrow. hree-dimensional magnetic vortices ...

The Earth’s magnetic field, generated 3,000km below our feet in the liquid iron core, is crucially important to life on our planet. It extends out into space, wrapping us in an electromagnetic blanket ...
