A cross-sectional diagram of a typical Terfenol-D actuator reveals the Terfenol-D rod, permanent magnets, and coil driver. Magnets bias the Terfenol-D magnetic domains for ac use. Versions biased for ...

“In the future, we’ll be generating a significant fraction of our electricity from harnessing the waves!” People have been saying this for decades, and wave-generated electricity is not a significant ...

The stress-induced reorientation of the low-symmetry defects due to substitution atom pairs can give rise to an internal friction peak, Zener relaxation. It is one of the most representative point ...

THIS communication is concerned with the anomalous phenomenon occasionally found in examining the magnetostriction of the ‘grain-orientated’ silicon–iron sheets, and it was believed to be a prime ...

The findings have been published in (Advanced Functional Materials, "Anisotropic Band-Split Magnetism in Magnetostrictive CoFe₂O₄"). Spin-wave spectrum of CoFe₂O₄ measured on the MAPS spectrometer ...

The property that makes fluorescent lights buzz could power a new generation of more efficient computing devices that store data with magnetic fields, rather than electricity. A team led by University ...
