A supercooled microscopic ferromagnet proves the existence of gyroscopic magnetic behaviour that has been long sought by ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could reliably tackle various ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

Collective behavior is an unusual phenomenon in condensed-matter physics. When quantum spins interact together as a system, ...

In addition to shaping the interior of rocky planets, molten rock located deep within these planets may also contribute to ...

An international group of researchers has found that chiral phonons can create orbital current without needing magnetic elements – in part because chiral phonons have their own magnetic moments.

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

The medical consequences of traumatic brain injuries are well-studied and affect millions of Americans every year. But one of ...

A material cooled near absolute zero produced an electrical signal that physics said should not exist, revealing a new kind ...

The bright colors and soft themes of February provide an opportunity for a cheerful French manicure during this cold winter ...

Earth just experienced a rare S4 solar radiation storm, the most intense since 2003 — powerful for satellites and astronauts, ...
