Physicists have succeeded in measuring the sign of the so-called Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction in weak ferromagnets for the first time thanks to a new synchrotron-based experimental technique. The feat will not only be important for developing novel magnetic materials for use in applications like high-density data storage in computers but will also help advance our understanding of the basic physics at play in ferromagnets and antiferromagnets…..
