Blog Post Image: Whirlpools on the Nanoscale Could Multiply Magnetic Memory

Magnetic transmission soft x-ray microscopy shows the reverse of spin circularity in magnetic vortices in a row of nanodisks, after applying a 1.5 nanosecond pulse of magnetic field. The change from left to right is not a change in lighting, as it may appear, but is instead due to changing magnetic contrast. Image credit: Berkeley Lab
