When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” ...

(Javier Zayas Photography/Moment/Getty Images) A new study may have solved a long-standing mystery about the Moon's magnetism: Why do lunar rocks brought back by the Apollo missions show evidence of ...

Magnets are a crucial technology in our modern life. There are magnets in pretty much all electronics, most household appliances, and in a variety of places, from doors to school bells. The most ...

Researchers have potentially discovered a way to make computers process data about 1,000 times ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

Crystal thermal transport in altermagnets. The left part, which includes the balls, arrows, and spin density isosurfaces, represents a typical altermagnet. When a temperature gradient field is applied ...

A team of scientists from the University of Liverpool have found two strange anomalies that have affected the Earth's ...

Muons might not behave as expected. But scientists can’t agree on what to expect. By taking stock of how the subatomic particles wobble in a magnetic field, physicists have pinned down a property of ...
