Artistic illustration of Floquet-engineered magnons: Using time as a resource, a static magnetic vortex evolves into a periodically driven state whose gyration generates a magnon frequency comb.

The electron spins in a magnetic vortex all point in parallel, either clockwise or counterclockwise. Spins in the crowded core of the vortex must point out of the plane, either up or down. The four ...

On-demand control of stable toroidal vortices lays groundwork for robust wireless data encoding. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic ...

Just as electrons flow through an electrical conductor, magnetic excitations can travel through certain materials. Such excitations, known in physics as 'magnons' in analogy to the electron, could ...
