Researchers used a nonlinear metasurface to experimentally demonstrate skyrmions that can be switched between electric and magnetic modes in free-space toroidal terahertz light pulses. WASHINGTON — ...

Electricity can be generated from the energy of Earth rotating through its own magnetic field—according to a provocative claim put forward by physicists this week. The findings are controversial but ...

Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic vortex-ring-like light patterns. These structured light vortices, known as skyrmions, are highly stable and ...

By removing rare earths from the equation, these designs promise cleaner supply chains and more sustainable production.

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 ...
