The discovery that some fluorescent proteins are sensitive to magnets could lead to the development of switchable drugs and biosensors.

New research demonstrates that an applied magnetic field will interact with the electronic structure of weakly magnetic, or diamagnetic, molecules to induce a magnetic-field effect that, to their ...

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

A gyromagnetic effect discovered by Albert Einstein and Dutch physicist Wander Johannes de Haas--the rotation of an object caused by a change in magnetization--has been measured at micrometer-scale ...

A new framework for understanding the nonmonotonic temperature dependence and sign reversal of the chirality-related ...

A team of researchers report a mechanical response across a layered magnetic material tied to changing its electron spin. This response could have important applications in nanodevices requiring ultra ...

With copper-substituted lead apatite below room temperature, Chinese researchers observe diamagnetic dc magnetization under magnetic field of 25 Oe with remarkable bifurcation between ...
