By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special ...

Researchers turned a paramagnetic material into a magnet by manipulating electrons' spin via atomic motion. Quantum materials hold the key to a future of lightning-speed, energy-efficient information ...

By partnering with artificial intelligence (AI), a researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has solved a long-standing physics problem and uncovered the ...

Artificial intelligence has just cracked a problem that has frustrated condensed matter theorists for decades, turning a long-standing maze in frustrated magnet physics into a solved benchmark. By ...

Theoretical physicist Ziqiang Wang and researcher Kun Jiang, Ph.D. '18, help an international team of colleagues explain new findngs in the kagome magnet Boston College researcher Kun Jiang and ...

High-temperature superconductor magnets have the potential to lower the costs of operating particle accelerators and enable powerful new technologies like fusion reactors. But quenches -- the sudden, ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? The search for magnetic monopoles has consumed the field of condensed matter physics ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

There’s a long-circulating meme on the internet that is basically a question: Would a magnet-propelled vehicle work? (Here’s a version of it posted on Reddit.) It’s a very simple drawing of a pickup ...

One of the most pervasive and mysterious phenomena in the universe is magnetism. As the scientist knows it, magnetism is the invisible pull that surrounds magnets, electric currents and even the ...
