A material thought to be a quantum spin liquid actually exhibits a newly identified magnetic state caused by competing ...

At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or ...

A magnetic tunnel junction engineered to produce four distinct resistance states instead of the standard two could double the ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem ...

Magnetic materials are typically divided into ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic types, depending on their magnetic moments (electron spins), resulting in either macroscopic (net) magnetism or not.

When ferromagnetic objects enter an MRI suite, they become a serious hazard – here’s how to prevent them from getting in. Nearly every job in the country is subject to certain health and safety ...

The recent discovery of magnetic materials that are also superconductors has reconciled two physical phenomena that were previously thought to be incompatible. Putting on the pressure The startling ...

The discovery of graphene has motivated scientists to explore a wide range of layered, atomically-thin 2D materials. One of the most astounding discoveries was that such monoatomic layers could be ...

Ferromagnetic materials have a self-generating magnetic field, ferroelectric materials generate their own electrical field. Although electric and magnetic fields are related, physics tells us that ...

Spinning around: these three ferromagnetic liquid droplets are each about 2 mm long and are being spun on a magnetic stirring plate. The orange dye reveals their rotational motions. (Courtesy: Xubo ...
