Important step towards opening up the third dimension for molecular fabrication

15-Nov-2021

Three years ago, a group of physicists from Jülich successfully manipulated a single flat molecule into an upright, standing position. Their findings were published at the time in Nature. After months of experiments, they have now managed to knock the molecule back down again. The insights gained ...

“These types of structures inside magnetic solids suggest unique electrical and magnetic properties"

06-Oct-2021

A team of scientists from Germany, Sweden and China has discovered a new physical phenomenon: complex braided structures made of tiny magnetic vortices known as skyrmions. Skyrmions were first detected experimentally a little over a decade ago and have since been the subject of numerous studies, ...
