Studying thin magnetic layers using an analogy with the physics of soap bubbles

Physicists have studied thin films of magnetic material and applied concepts of the physics of soap bubbles. With this approach, which had been barely used so far, they were able to explain new phenomena. There is a very interesting analogy …

A new memory resistive device developed with magnetic nanopillars surrounded by resistive silicon switches

Magnetic nanopillars surrounded by resistive silicon filaments have been used to develop a novel memristive memory. Emerging non-volatile memories (NVMs) combined with novel computing architectures have recently been considered as the most promising solution to overcome the “memory …

Topological acoustics at the nanoscale

Nanometric semiconductor structures have been used to confine ultrahigh frequency sound by exploiting their topological properties. The 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to the field of topological matter. A key result was the demonstration that topology can be …
