For observers on Earth, the sun appears as a bright, familiar disk—but what we see is only half the story. Like the moon, one ...

For about 700 years, magnetism has been known as the force that stands still. Last week a physicist claimed to have proved that magnetism moves. Professor Felix Ehrenhaft, formerly of Vienna, told the ...

In May, the most powerful geomagnetic storm to strike Earth in more than two decades lit up night skies in many parts of the world - Copyright AFP/File Sanka ...

Antiferromagnetic materials, with antiparallel atomic spins and zero net magnetization, are fast and resistant to external ...

In collaboration with the National Institute of Technology (KOSEN), Oshima College, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) succeeded in developing a new regenerator material composed ...

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 ...

Researchers have succeeded in bringing wireless technology to the fundamental level of magnetic devices. The emergence and control of magnetic properties in cobalt nitride layers (initially ...

A new study illustrates how substrates affect electronic interactions in 2D metal-organic frameworks. With electronic properties tuneable by electrical charge, mechanical strain, and hybridization, ...

One of the most pervasive and mysterious phenomena in the universe is magnetism. As the scientist knows it, magnetism is the invisible pull that surrounds magnets, electric currents and even the ...
