Spintronic devices use spin instead of charge to process information and are widely
considered as promising candidates for next-generation electronic devices. In past decades …

A new scientific frontier opened in 2009 with the start of operations of the world's first x-ray
free-electron laser (FEL), the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), at SLAC National …

We present the first lasing results of SwissFEL, a hard X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) that
recently came into operation at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. SwissFEL is a very …

Magnetic phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and indispensable for modern science and
technology, but it is notoriously difficult to change the magnetic order of a material in a rapid …

Spin–orbit torque can be used to manipulate magnetization in spintronic devices. However,
conventional ferromagnetic spin–orbit torque systems have intrinsic limitations in terms of …

This year the discovery of femtosecond demagnetization by laser pulses is 20 years old. For
the first time, this milestone work by Bigot and coworkers gave insight directly into the time …

Featured Application This article describes the layout of the European XFEL, a soft and hard
X-ray free-electron laser user facility starting operation in 2017. Emphasis is put on the …

The possibility of manipulating magnetic systems without applied magnetic fields have
attracted growing attention over the past fifteen years. The low-power manipulation of the …

The science of morality has drawn heavily on well-controlled but artificial laboratory settings.
To study everyday morality, we repeatedly assessed moral or immoral acts and experiences …
