Now, by developing a TEM that generates only very low magnetic fields at the sample, a team of researchers in Japan and Australia has succeeded in directly imaging an atomic magnetic field for the ...

Since their relatively recent appearance on the commercial scene, rare-earth magnets have made quite a splash in the public imagination. The amount of magnetic energy packed into these tiny ...

“The electric and magnetic fields at a material’s atomic level determine its bulk properties and behavior, and are an essential area of research,” says Toshiaki Tanigaki, a senior researcher ...

Sometimes this involves updating established techniques: recently IBM announced a new magnetic tape technology that can store 25 gigabytes per square inch, a new world record for the 60-year-old ...

It allows for atomic-level tabletop examination of magnetic materials using a method known as scanning NV magnetometry. This recently developed, diamond-enabled microscope provides a previously ...
