Magnetization switching in magnetic tunnel junctions using spin-transfer torque and spin–
orbit torque is key to the development of future spintronic memories. However, both …

Chemically powered micro‐and nanomotors are small devices that are self‐propelled by
catalytic reactions in fluids. Taking inspiration from biomotors, scientists are aiming to find …

Achieving control over the directionality of active colloids is essential for their use in practical
applications such as cargo carriers in microfluidic devices. So far, guidance of spherical …

Extending planar two-dimensional structures into the three-dimensional space has become
a general trend in multiple disciplines, including electronics, photonics, plasmonics and …

As the dimensions of a material shrink from an extended bulk solid to a nanoscale structure,
size and quantum confinement effects become dominant, altering the properties of the …

Synchronization occurs widely in the natural and technological worlds, from the rhythm of
applause and neuron firing to the quantum mechanics of coupled Josephson junctions, but …

We fabricated self-powered colloidal Janus motors combining catalytic and magnetic cap
structures, and demonstrated their performance for manipulation (uploading, transportation …

Nanofabrication of magnetic storage media, where servo marks, discrete tracks or individual
