For the first time, scientists have magnetized a non-magnetic material at room temperature, inducing a quantum property that they say could pave the way for ultra-fast computing. The "switchable ...

A new approach developed by Boston College physics researchers creates synthetic layered magnets with a unprecedented level of control over their magnetic properties ... tuned by manipulating the ...

A manifestation of spin–orbit interactions is the spin Hall effect 5,6, in which a spin current flows transversally to a charge current in a non-magnetic material. The spin Hall effect ...

Figure 3: Spin transport through non-magnetic semiconductors and metals. Many of the ferromagnetic semiconductor materials have extremely high carrier-doping levels, and controlling the interfaces ...

to separate magnetic materials such as iron and steel from non-magnetic materials; in electric bells; in relay switches and door locks that can be controlled remotely; to hold open fire doors ...

A huge rotating magnet is used to sort the magnetic materials from the non-magnetic materials. Separating the materials allows them to be reused. Students could be asked to recap how magnets are ...
