Physicists Switch Magnetic State Using Spin Current
When Carnegie Mellon University doctoral candidates I-Hsuan Kao and Ryan Muzzio started working together a switch flicked on. Then off. Working in the Department of Physics ' Lab for Investigating Quantum Materials, Interfaces and Devices (LIQUID) Group , Kao, Muzzio and other research partners were able to show proof of concept that running an electrical current through a novel two-dimensional material could control the magnetic state of a neighboring magnetic material without the need of applying an external magnetic field.

Carbon emissions and grocery shopping: EVs and home delivery better, ’trip chaining’ and robots best
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way grocery stores do business, with online sales rising more than 50% from 2019 to 2020 in the United States. As shoppers searched for safe and convenient ways to get essential items, grocers adapted to meet increased e-commerce demand. Small, automated warehouses called micro-fulfillment centers-often located within existing stores-enabled grocers to fill pickup orders more quickly, sometimes within an hour of order placement.
