Many natural processes, ranging from magnetism to chemical reactions, entail the movement and rotation of particles at very ...

To detect the quantum friction of empty space, scientists are going for a spin. A twirling nanoparticle, suspended in a laser beam inside of a vacuum, can measure tiny twisting forces, making it the ...

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 ...

In the lead-up to the 2022 UCI Track World Championships starting this Thursday, it’s not just the athletes who have been working hard to shave fractions of seconds off lightning-fast times, it’s also ...

Escherichia coli bacteria are the workhorse of microbiology labs. These bacteria move through fluids by spinning their flagella — a clump of tails driven by a molecular motor in the cell walls.

A research group led by Professor Satoru Nakatsuji at the School of Science, The University of Tokyo has been working on fundamental technologies that enable ultra-fast magnetic devices for ...

Mechanical cues are key regulators of cardiac development, yet their role in organoid maturation remains underexplored. In a new study, researchers introduce a magnetic torque stimulation (MTS) system ...
