When injecting pure spin into chiral materials, direction matters

Physics General News

03 May 2024

The direction in which spin information is injected into chiral materials affects its ability to pass through them. These chiral 'gateways' could be used to design energy-efficient spintronic devices for data storage, communication and computing....

New study is first to use statistical physics to corroborate 1940s social balance theory

Mathematics - Research News

03 May 2024

Most people have heard the famous phrase "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Now, Northwestern University researchers have used statistical physics to confirm the theory that underlies this famous axiom. The study, "Proper network randomization is key to assessing social balance," is published in...
