鈥楤rand New Physics鈥 for Next Generation Spintronics
University of Utah

Pioneering researchers of self-generated spin torques have discovered a new one, anomalous Hall torque, that completes a triad of torques likely present in all conductive spintronic materials. Dubbed the Universal Hall Torques, the triad have unique spin behavior favorable to cutting-edge technologies, like human brain-inspired computing that processes massive amounts of data with much greater efficiency.

Doubling Down on Detox
University of Utah

As creosote spread across the American Southwest 20,000 years ago, natural selection favored changes that led to duplicating genes that produce an abundance of detox enzymes. Gene duplication is likely the first step that enables animals to rapidly adapt to new environmental pressure, a notion challenging conventional wisdom.
