The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new recording principle that improves recording efficiency by 35% by combining spin torque with conventional heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). This advancement is ...

Steel parts and aluminum cans could soon be made with far less energy, thanks to the University of Florida. In a collaboration backed by nearly $11 million in federal funding, UF scientists have ...

Compare MagSafe vs Qi2 wireless charging technology. Learn how magnetic alignment improves charging speed efficiency, reduces heat, and delivers universal 15W fast charging performance. MagSafe - ...

In conventional heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), a laser is used to locally heat the recording medium to facilitate data writing. However, the thermal energy applied is largely dissipated ...

Artistic visualization of a crystalline rod made of the semimetal ZrTe 5. There is a heat gradient from one end to the other. In its center, giant oscillations in its heat conduction are toggled by ...

Laser heating generates a temperature gradient in the MnPt layer, which induces spin currents (green arrows) that are injected into the FePt layer. These spin currents generate spin torque, which ...
