The Best in Science News and Amazing Breakthroughs
It occurs under extremely cold conditions when a cobalt atom on a copper surface is subjected to a strong magnetic field, causing its direction of spin to flip back and forth.
The discovery could trigger a major rethink of assumptions on how low-temperature conductive materials behave, according to physicists from the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg and the Jülich Research Centre in Germany. The researchers were able to see the magnetic spin of the cobalt atom in the experimental setup thanks to the combination of the intense magnetic field and an iron tip added to their atomic-scale, but rather continually switching back and forth, which then excited the electrons of the copper surface. To use an analogy – very helpful in high-level physics, the cobalt atom is like a spinning rugby ball.
