NEWS RELEASE
Invisible currents at the edge: Rice research team shows how magnetic particles reveal a hidden rule of nature
If you've ever watched a flock of birds move in perfect unison or seen ripples travel across a pond, you've witnessed nature's remarkable ability to coordinate motion. Recently, a team of scientists and engineers at Rice discovered a similar phenomenon on a microscopic scale, where tiny magnetic particles driven by rotating fields spontaneously move along the edges of clusters driven by invisible "edge currents" that follow the rules of an unexpected branch of physics. The research was published in the journal Physical Review Research.
