What Are Photons, Anyway? | Hackaday

[ad_1] Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school physics class. While quantum physics has been around for over a century, it can still be a bit tricky to wrap one’s head around since some […]

Rube Goldberg Floppy Disk Cleaner

[ad_1] Floppies were once the standard method of information exchange, but decades of storage can render them unreadable, especially if mold sets in. [Rob Smith] wanted to clean some floppies in style and made a Disco Rube Goldberg-Style device for the job. Starting with a disk caddy on linear rails, [Smith] has a track for […]

Altermagnetism In Manganese Telluride And Others: The Future Of Spintronics?

[ad_1] Magnetic materials are typically divided into ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic types, depending on their magnetic moments (electron spins), resulting in either macroscopic (net) magnetism or not. Altermagnetism is however a recently experimentally confirmed third type that as the name suggests alternates effectively between these two states, demonstrating a splitting of the spin energy levels (spin-split […]
