Strange things happen to materials when you peel them down, layer by layer, from thick chunks all the way to sheets just an ...

Physicists confirmed the full two-dimensional six-state clock model in atomically thin nickel phosphorus trisulfide, ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered that a specially engineered tantalum-tungsten-selenium crystal spontaneously forms atomic clusters that generate local magnetism where none ...

Researchers turned a paramagnetic material into a magnet by manipulating electrons' spin via atomic motion. Quantum materials hold the key to a future of lightning-speed, energy-efficient information ...

Artificial intelligence has just cracked a problem that has frustrated condensed matter theorists for decades, turning a long-standing maze in frustrated magnet physics into a solved benchmark. By ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...

Theoretical physicist Ziqiang Wang and researcher Kun Jiang, Ph.D. '18, help an international team of colleagues explain new findngs in the kagome magnet Boston College researcher Kun Jiang and ...

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated an entirely new form of magnetism in a synthesized crystalline material. They're calling it p-wave magnetism. This discovery is ...

Deep inside the Milky Way, an invisible force is quietly holding everything together — its magnetic field. Now, researchers have created one of the most detailed maps ever of this hidden structure, ...
