Bimetallic nanoalloys combining magnetic and noble metals are promising for magnetic sensors, catalysis, optical detection, and biomedical imaging applications. Their development relies on ...

Intense laser light can induce magnetism in solids on the attosecond scale—the fastest magnetic response to date. That is the finding reached by theoreticians at the Max Planck Institute for the ...

The field of ultrafast magnetism explores how flashes of light can manipulate a material's magnetization in trillionths of a second. In the process called all-optical switching (AOS), a single laser ...
