Year after year, semiconductor manufacturers scale down the size of components, making processors faster and more efficient. However, we're approaching the limits of atomic scale with silicon, leading ...

Research in the lab of UC Santa Barbara materials professor Stephen Wilson is focused on understanding the fundamental physics behind unusual states of matter and developing materials that can host ...

Professor Peter Wadley, who led the research, explains: "Altermagnets consist of magnetic moments that point antiparallel to their neighbours. However, each part of the crystal hosting these tiny ...

Conventional hard disks are based on ferromagnets—materials in which the magnetic dipoles, or spins, associated with each atom all point in the same direction. This alignment gives the material a net ...
