Researchers control elusive spin fluctuations in 2D magnets

Researchers developed a new imaging technique that is fast and sensitive enough to observe these elusive critical fluctuations in two-dimensional magnets. This real-time imaging allows researchers to control the fluctuations and switch magnetism via a 'passive' mechanism that could eventually lead to more energy-efficient magnetic storage devices.
