Understanding quantum mechanics with active particles

The study of active particles is one of the fastest-growing areas of physics. With 'active particles' physicists refer to objects which move by themselves as a result of internal self-propulsion. These include living things such as bacteria as well as artificial nano-robots which can be inserted into the body to transport medication.

Sub-picosecond magnetization reversal in rare-earth-free spin valves

Researchers have demonstrated sub-picosecond magnetization reversal in rare-earth-free spin valves. To date, ultra-fast magnetization control without using magnetic fields was only seen in material systems using rare-earth materials. But the recent breakthrough is expected to open up new pathways for developing ultra-fast and energy efficient applications.
