By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

An innovation that came into existence years ago could now help the United States tackle China's dominance in a key sector. A scientist working at the University of Minnesota lab years ago developed ...

RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special ...

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 ...

For decades, fusion power has been shorthand for a future that never quite arrived, a promise of virtually limitless clean ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects from light using so-called metamaterials with extreme and often unrealistic ...

On September 22, the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Steady High Magnetic Field Laboratory set an impressive record with a resistive magnet sustaining a magnetic field of 42.02 tesla. This surpasses ...

In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism are related. A new study revealed that the magnetic component of light ...

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 ...
