We demonstrate spin pumping, i.e. the generation of a pure spin current by precessing magnetization, without application of microwave radiation commonly used in spin pumping experiments. We use femtosecond laser pulses to simultaneously…
An ion-exchange-resin-based microfluidic pump is introduced that utilizes trace amounts of ions to generate fluid flows. We show experimentally that our pump operates in almost deionized water for periods exceeding 24h and induces fluid…

Magnetization in highly conductive plasmas is ubiquitous to astronomical systems. Flows in such media can be described by three path functions $\Lambda_\alpha$, or, for a steady flow, by two stream functions $\lambda_\kappa$ and an…
