Spin pumping effect proven for the first time: Applied Physics Letters reports
Bochum’s physicists led by Prof. Dr. Hartmut Zabel have demonstrated the spin pumping effect in magnetic layers for the first time experimentally. The…
Squeezed laser will bring gravitational waves to the light of day
The interferometers they use here measure with such sensitivity that a particular quantum phenomenon of light – shot noise – limits the measuring accuracy….
Strong Magnetic Fields Might Have Been Created Shortly after the Big Bang
Strong magnetic fields in the Universe apparently date back to the period shortly after the Big Bang. This was recently demonstrated with the aid of…
