For decades, scientists have puzzled over why certain atomic nuclei unexpectedly produce large numbers of low-energy gamma ...

MIT physicists found that two electronic phases inside the same quantum material emerge through surprisingly different ...

Rice University researchers have found a way to isolate a single magnetic domain in ...

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry "spintronic" memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up ...

Altermagnetism is a new, third type of magnetism of great interest for spin-transport applications like computer memory. If properly harnessed, it could combine the benefits of the two existing types ...

Reaching out into the cosmos with invisible tendrils, magnetism is simultaneously otherwordly and mundane. These forces can pin a photo to your fridge or even billow off Earth’s poles to combat solar ...

Widespread magnetism dating from our solar system’s earliest beginnings some 4.57 billion years ago likely played a major role in creating orbital order out of chaos. But until now, magnetism’s role ...

The mystery of how to describe it, the mystery of where spin comes from and the mystery of whether lightning makes rocks magnetic. 1. Magnetism is familiar to every fifth grader, but describing it can ...
