Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the generation of perpendicularly polarized spin currents (z spins) in heavy metal devices, which can enable energy-efficient switching without needing a magnetic field, overcoming challenges with existing single crystal methods.
  • Researchers discovered that by manipulating electric asymmetries in the device's dimensions and material types, both damping-like and field-like spin-orbit torques of z spins can be significantly adjusted.
  • This breakthrough allows for effective switching of perpendicularly magnetized magnetic layers, crucial for developing low-power spin-torque memory technologies, and encourages further research into z spins in various materials.

The experience of the self as an embodied agent in the world is an essential aspect of human consciousness. This experience arises from the feeling of control over one's bodily actions, termed the Sense of Agency, and the feeling that the body belongs to the self, Body Ownership. Despite longstanding philosophical and scientific interest in the relationship between the body and brain, the neural systems involved in Body Ownership and Sense of Agency, and especially their interactions, are not yet understood.

Attachment theory is built on the assumption of consistency; the mother-infant bond is thought to underpin the life-long representations individuals construct of attachment relationships. Still, consistency in the individual's neural response to attachment-related stimuli representing his or her entire relational history has not been investigated. Mothers and children were followed across two decades and videotaped in infancy (3-6 months), childhood (9-12 years) and young adulthood (18-24 years).
