Unique Optical Magnetometer to Probe Magnetism at the Nanoscale

As the demand grows for ever smaller, smarter electronics, so does the demand for understanding materials’ behavior at ever smaller scales. Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory are building a unique optical magnetometer to probe magnetism at the nano- and mesoscale.

University of Illinois Researchers Report Novel Technique to Manipulate Magnetization at Nanoscale

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have reported physical mechanisms that use heat to manipulate magnetic information. Unlike the conventional methods that involve application of magnetic fields, these mechanisms are based on the transport of heat energy, providing a suitable way to control magnetization at nano-level.

Liposomes, Magnetic Nanoparticles and Photosensitizers Combined to Fight Cancer

By combining, in a liposome, magnetic nanoparticles and photosensitizers that are simultaneously and remotely activated by external physical stimuli (a magnetic field and light), scientists at the Laboratoire Matière et Systèmes Complexes (CNRS/Université Paris Diderot) and the Laboratoire Physicochimie des Electrolytes et Nanosystèmes Interfaciaux (CNRS/UPMC), obtained total tumor regression in mice.

Theoretically, Direction of Spin of Nanoscale Magnets Can Be Controlled Remotely

In the eyes of physicists, magnetic molecules can be considered as nanoscale magnets. Remotely controlling the direction in which they rotate, like spinning tops, may intuitively be difficult to achieve. However, Russian physicists have just demonstrated that it is theoretically possible to do so. They have shown that a change of direction in the circular polarisation of an external magnetic field leads to a change in the direction of the mechanical rotation of the molecule.
