Wobbly polarity is key to preventing magnetic avalanches on disk drives
New research brings models of magnetic avalanches much closer to reality, helping physicists understand both why they happen and why they don’t run out of control, wiping disk drives clean.

Silicon chip beams light through a liquid-core waveguide to detect one particle at a time
By guiding light through liquid-filled channels smaller than a human hair, researchers at UCSC and Brigham Young University have succeeded in building a silicon chip that can detect tiny particles one at a time.
