The evolution of skyrmions in multilayers and their topological Hall signature

The topological Hall effect (THE) is the Hall response to an emergent magnetic field, a manifestation of the skyrmion Berry-phase. As the magnitude of THE in magnetic multilayers is an open question, it is imperative to develop comprehensive understanding of skyrmions and other chiral textures, and their electrical fingerprint. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190507110448.htm

New material also reveals new quasiparticles

Researchers have investigated a novel crystalline material that exhibits electronic properties that have never been seen before. It is a crystal of aluminum and platinum atoms arranged in a special way. This resulted in novel properties of electronic behavior for the crystal as a whole, including so-called Rarita-Schwinger fermions in its interior. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190507110422.htm

A novel method for improving imaging techniques in geophysical and material studies

One of the remarkable aspects of science is its ability to extend our sense of perception beyond touch and sight, often using the information provided by the "scattering" of waves. A group of researchers working on the "inverse scattering" problem has pushed the scope of this. They have developed a method for identifying the location of point-like scatterers based on fluctuations in the physical properties of the surface. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190507105743.htm

Experimental device generates electricity from the coldness of the universe

A drawback of solar panels is that they require sunlight to generate electricity. Some have observed that for a device on Earth facing space, the chilling outflow of energy from the device can be harvested using the same kind of optoelectronic physics we have used to harness solar energy. New work looks to provide a potential path to generating electricity like solar cells but that can power electronics at night. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190506163646.htm

Blue supergiant stars open doors to concert in space

Blue supergiants are rock-and-roll: they live fast and die young. This makes them rare and difficult to study. Before space telescopes were invented, few blue supergiants had been observed, so our knowledge of these stars was limited. Astronomers have now studied the sounds originating inside these stars and discovered that almost all blue supergiants shimmer in brightness because of waves on their surface. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190506124121.htm
