The research group Functional Materials for Sustainability and Resilience (FunMat4SuRe) at University of Seville (Spain) has demonstrated the efficacy of a new "criticality-aware design strategy," ...

Magnetic materials have become indispensable to various technologies that support our modern society, such as data storage ...

Besides superfluous features like touchscreens and internal cameras, basic refrigerator technology hasn't changed much in decades. They still chill your milk by way of chemical refrigerants and ...

Figure 1: Typical hysteresis loops in hard, soft and autarkic magnets. The need to understand magnetic hysteresis is becoming increasingly urgent 2,3. That is because hard magnets are main components ...

Copper (Cu) and Nickel (Ni), adjacent elements in the periodic system, are closely related and completely miscible. Sometimes called cupronickels, there exists a range of different copper-nickel ...

Electrical conductivity: copper has the highest conductivity of the engineering metals. Silver or other elements may be added to increase strength, softening resistance or other properties without ...

Addition of iridium leads to increased electron localization and stronger spin-orbit coupling between 3d electrons of iron and cobalt and 5d electrons of iridium, significantly enhancing the magnetic ...
