Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that normally only matter at atomic scales—become powerful enough to control the metal's macroscopic electrical properties. Researchers in ...

Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal stresses. Soft switching employs more sophisticated ...

Light flicker inside a building is usually associated with loose wiring, faulty switches, or poor electrical connections. But there are many situations in which lights flicker even when the ...

In a remarkable leap for quantum physics, researchers in Japan have uncovered how weak magnetic fields can reverse tiny electrical currents in kagome metals—quantum materials with a woven atomic ...

Schematic figure of rapid (~100 ps) non-thermal switching of magnetization in antiferromagnetic Mn 3 Sn (to be precise, the magnetic octupole consisted of manganese spins forming a Kagome-lattice ...

Researchers explain why weak magnetic fields can instantly control electrical flow direction in these quantum metals. (Nanowerk News) Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that ...
