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 ...

Magnetic rotation and antimagnetic rotation represent distinct mechanisms by which atomic nuclei generate angular momentum in systems that exhibit little or no permanent quadrupole deformation. In ...

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, ...

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 ...

RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special kind of magnet. This finding could help to realize future low-energy ...

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 ...

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 ...

High-temperature superconductor magnets have the potential to lower the costs of operating particle accelerators and enable powerful new technologies like fusion reactors. But quenches -- the sudden, ...

NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was approved by the Governing Board of the National Research Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of ...
