Medicine & TechnologyA new class of magnetic nanodevices could soon have their magnetism electrically controlled after a new observation from physicists show a new kind of rotation - one that is possible in materials composed of light elements.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) with the contract to develop a high-latitude mission to image the Sun's poles.
This recently discovered attractive force on neutral atoms is caused by the thermal radiation emitted from black bodies and here we investigate it in systems with spherical and cylindrical symmetries. For some astrophysical objects, we find that the corrected force is greater than the flat case, showing that this kind of correction can be quite relevant when curved spaces are considered.
