Strain flips Hall signal in altermagnetic manganese telluride, suggesting a path to practical spintronics

Time-reversal symmetry is an exotic behavior found in systems whose internal physics looks different when running forward versus backward in time. For some time, physicists have searched for this behavior in systems with almost no overall magnetization. Such phases are highly prized for spintronics, where information is carried using the quantum spins of electrons.

NASA funds spherical 'Aerobots' that could explore the caves of Saturn's moon Titan

NASA funds spherical 'Aerobots' that could explore the caves of Saturn's moon Titan The robots' designer says SPARK Aerobots have a good chance of doing well on Titan with their novel ion thrusters. Spherical "Aerobots" may one day swarm the caves of Titan — a moon of Saturn that NASA says is one of the most Earthlike in our solar system. Titan is covered in rivers, lakes and seas of hydrocarbons, like methane and ethane, as well as a strange "karst" terrain including underground sinkholes...
