Researchers have created an optical device that can generate both electric and magnetic vortex-ring-like light patterns.

A new metasurface lets scientists flip between ultra-stable light vortices, paving the way for tougher, smarter wireless communication.

New device switches terahertz pulses between electric and magnetic skyrmions On-demand control of stable toroidal vortices lays groundwork for robust wireless data e ...

A magnetic vortex, known as a skyrmion (grey dot), being displaced into the corners of a triangular field by electrical currents, where it bounces off the sides. The potentials shown in red are ...

The center of a magnetic vortex emits spin waves with very short wavelengths in the presence of high-frequency alternating magnetic fields. Scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf have ...
