Magnets are manipulated by spin transfer torque (STT), enabling nano-scale spintronic applications. A standard pendulum hangs down due to gravity but pivot point oscillations force it into a dynamically stable inverted state, known as a Kapitza pendulum. Tuning of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy can negate dipolar interactions in thin films to create a vanishing anisotropy magnet (VAM) with a flat energy landscape. An external magnetic field creates an energetic maximum oriented antiparallel to the field direction. Under normal conditions the dynamics behave like a regular pendulum but an anti-damping like STT drives the state to the energy maximum, a spintronic analogue to the Kapitza pendulum. At a critical current spin fluctuations cover the entire Bloch sphere which could be used for probabilistic computing. Vanishing anisotropy magnets (VAMs) are a platform for studying unchartered spin dynamics far from equilibrium which includes anti-magnonics.
