Since first described extensively by Charles Darwin 1,2, bending movements of nutation have been studied in monocotyledons and dicotyledons 3, in fungi, algae, or bryophytes 4,5, and in shoots and ...

Much of the 'memory' of the world and all our digital activities are based on media, hard disks, where the information is encoded thanks to magnetism, by orienting the spin of electrons in one ...

Nonlinearity is the driving force for numerous important effects in nature typically showing transitions between different regimes, regular, chaotic or catastrophic behavior. Localized nonlinear modes ...

image: An international team of scientists has managed for the first time to observe the 'nutation' of spins in magnetic materials (the oscillations of their axis during precession). The measured ...
