Spin-Ion Stepping Out with System to Engineer Ultra-Thin Magnetic Materials 

Spin-Ion Technologies, a French developer of advanced ion beam technology to engineer the structural properties of magnetic materials, has linked up with Quantum Design International to distribute the company’s Helium-S system in China, Taiwan, Singapore and the United States. The process solution is based on post-growth Helium + ion irradiation to tailor the magnetic properties of thin magnetic films at the atomic scale and improve their performances. […]

The Scary Sound of Earth’s Magnetic Field

Despite being essential to life on Earth, the magnetic field isn’t something we can actually see in itself, or ever hear. But, remarkably, scientists at the Technical University of Denmark have taken magnetic signals measured by ESA’s Swarm satellite mission and converted them into sound – and for something that protects us, the result is pretty scary.
