Propelling atomically layered magnets toward green computers

The flow of electrical current in the bottom crystalline slab (representing WTe2) breaks a mirror symmetry (shattered glass), while the material itself breaks the other mirror symmetry (cracked glass). The resulting spin current has vertical polarization that switches the magnetic state of the top 2D ferromagnet.

Researchers harness 2D magnetic materials for energy-efficient computing

This illustration shows electric current being pumped into platinum (the bottom slab), which results in the creation of an electron spin current that switches the magnetic state of the 2D ferromagnet on top. The colored spheres represent the atoms in the 2D material.

Study measures the psychological toll of wildfires

Wildfires in Southeast Asia significantly affect the moods of people in many neighboring countries, with people becoming more upset if fires originate outside their own country, according to a new study analyzing social media activity. Pictured is a 2019 forest fire in Central Kalimantan.
