In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

Scientists have confirmed the existence of a strange new form of magnetism. Hiding right under our noses, the team says that “altermagnetism” can be found in everyday materials and could have major ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Amid the roilings of the Milky Way, immense pockets of gas coalesce into clouds where stars are born. In this process, there is a hidden ...

A new study reveals how trillionth-of-a-second light pulses strongly deflect magnetization by exploiting orbital-spin ...

A research team has demonstrated that thin films of ruthenium dioxide (RuO₂) exhibit altermagnetism—the defining property of ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of magnetism. Experiments show that an artificially produced material becomes magnetic through a mechanism that hasn’t been seen before. The most ...

Individual atoms with an odd number of electrons have a magnetic moment from the spin of the unpaired electron. Materials consisting of elements with an even number of electrons—such as carbon, ...

The entry of quantum computers into society is currently hindered by their sensitivity to disturbances in the environment. Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, and Aalto ...

Kodaikanal Observatory solar data pinpoints strongest solar magnetism zones. Discover new insights into solar dynamo & space weather forecasting ...

Ancient humans have been aware of the magnetic force ever since at least 600 BC, back before Newton developed this laws of motion, and before we had any grasp of the four fundamental forces of nature.

Using a dual-cation substitution approach, researchers at Science Tokyo introduced ferromagnetism into bismuth ferrite, a ...
