Perpendicular magnetization switching by a magnetic-field-free, energy-efficient electrical approach has remained a great challenge. Here, we demonstrate the realization of robust magnetic-field-free perpendicular magnetization switching in the (101)RuO/[Pt/Co/Pt] heterojunction by manipulating the spin polarization direction. We proposed that the relative strength of out-of-plane spin currents with out-of-plane spin polarization and in-plane spin polarization can be effectively manipulated by tuning the nominal thickness of [Pt/Co/Pt] multilayers and the direction of applied electric current with respect to the RuO crystal orientation. When the electric current is applied along RuO [010] direction and the net spin current with spin polarization is canceled out, the "robust" perpendicular magnetization switching driven by pure is achieved in (101)RuO/[Pt/Co/Pt], where the term "robust" means that the switching polarity (counterclockwise) does not change and the switching ratio reduces very slowly with increasing magnitude of in-plane magnetic field and/or in a wide range of ±500 Oe. Our findings provide a technique to effectively manipulate the spin currents, which is beneficial for the investigation of antiferromagnetic spintronic devices with high magnetic field stability and reliable magnetization switching.

Magneto-responsive soft actuators hold significant promise in soft robotics due to their rapid responsiveness and untethered operation. However, controlling their deformations presents challenges because of their inherent flexibility and high degrees of freedom. Here, we present a magnetically driven bistable dome-shaped soft actuator that simplifies deformation by limiting it to two distinct states.

Background: Neuroimaging studies have shown that hypothalamic/thalamic nuclei and other distant brain regions belonging to complex cerebral networks are involved in cluster headache (CH). However, the exact relationship between these areas, which may be dependent or independent, remains to be understood. We investigated differences in resting-state functional connectivity (FC) between brain networks and its relationship with the microstructure of the hypothalamus and thalamus in patients with episodic CH outside attacks and healthy controls (HCs).

Interfacial ferroelectricity emerges in non-centrosymmetric heterostructures consisting of non-polar van der Waals (vdW) layers. Ferroelectricity with concomitant Coulomb screening can switch topological currents or superconductivity and simulate synaptic response. So far, it has only been realized in bilayer graphene moiré superlattices, posing stringent requirements to constituent materials and twist angles.

The development of molecular species with switchable magnetic properties has been a long-standing challenge in chemistry. One approach involves binding an analyte, such as protons, to a compound to trigger a change in magnetism. Transition metal complexes have been targeted for this type of magnetic modulation because they can undergo changes in their spin states.

Daily life for humans and other animals requires switching between periods of threat- and reward-oriented behavior. We investigated neural activity associated with spontaneous switching, in a naturalistic task, between foraging for rewards and seeking information about potential threats with 7T fMRI in healthy humans. Switching was driven by estimates of likelihood of threat and reward.
