At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow ...

An MIT research team has observed a previously unseen form of magnetism, one that sits outside the familiar categories of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. The discovery, termed p-wave magnetism, ...

A team of researchers has made a major breakthrough in the field of quantum materials. “A new route to materials with complex ‘disordered’ magnetic properties at the quantum level has been produced ...

What causes a magnet to be a magnet, and how can we control a magnet's behavior? These are the questions that researchers have been exploring over many years. What causes a magnet to be a magnet, and ...

Strontium ruthenate, SRO214, is a good example of unusual superconductivity. Its superconductive qualities were found by a research team that included Yoshiteru Maeno, who is currently at the Toyota ...

UPTON, NY—Given the choice of three different “spin” orientations, certain particles emerging from collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), an atom smasher at the U.S. Department of ...

Epstein described the material as a hybrid of a semiconductor that is made from organic materials and a special magnetic polymer semiconductor. As such, it is a bridge between today’s computers and ...

Scientists have found a new way to control the alignment state of magnetic atoms in an antiferromagnetic material, showing promise for the development of tiny sensors and memory devices. Researchers ...

We told you about these “printable” magnets a while back. When you have the ability to squeeze many smaller magnets into a tiny spot and adjust their north/south orientations at will, you can not only ...
