Cool science: Ruthenium is the fourth element discovered to have unique magnetic properties at room temperature
The exclusive club of single elements that display ferromagnetism at room temperatures now has a new member. Minnesota-based researchers reported that ruthenium can have magnetic properties in ambient temperature, an article in Science Daily states. Ferromagnetism is a form of magnetism wherein the material creates permanent magnets or are drawn towards magnets. Until recently, only three […]

The emerging field of “spintronics” uncovers an unexpected phenomenon in how electrons “spin” which could help develop more efficient computing devices
The accidental discovery of the zero field switching (ZFS) effect is a major leap forward in the field of spintronics. It could pave the way towards memory and computing devices that are both smaller and draw less power, according to an article in NanoWerk. The University of Maryland (UMD) defined spintronics as the role of nuclear and […]
