60 NM DIAMETER MAGNETIC BUBBLES IMAGED AT MISTRAL

A collaboration research among the ALBA Synchrotron, the University of Oviedo and the Centro Nacional de Microelectrónica (CNM-CSIC) has demonstrated that the effect of magnetic pulses can alter the microscopic structure of the domains at remanence. Depending on the magnitude of the pulsed field, either maze, bubbles or intermediate situations have been observed.

THE ALBA SYNCHROTRON SUPPORTS THE ARTS

Till November 17th, you can visit the exhibition { }, an artistic project of Pep Vidal, with the collaboration of the ALBA Synchrotron. The aim of { } is to create "nothingness" and to isolate it forever. The ultra-high vacuum capsule, produced with the help of ALBA, becomes a system in which the possibilities of interaction are limited as much as possible.
