Magnetic vortices arise in nanoscale ferromagnetic elements when spins curl in-plane around a small, perpendicularly magnetised core. The resulting topological structure exhibits a gyrotropic mode in ...

Researchers have uncovered a new way to generate exotic oscillation states in tiny magnetic structures—using only minimal energy. By exciting magnetic waves, they triggered a delicate motion that ...
