Researchers at the National Graphene Institute, in collaboration with the National University of Singapore, have shown that ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries physicists treated the magnetic side as a quiet background player. New ...

Magnetism, one of the oldest technologies known to humans, is at the forefront of new-age materials that could enable next-generation lossless electronics and quantum computers. Researchers led by ...

Scientists can learn a lot about a quantum material by watching how it responds to light. In magnetic semiconductors, one ...

Magnetism is a property of matter that has been known to mankind for several thousand years, long before these properties could be described in a theory. In our everyday lives, we are used to ...

Permanent magnets, the kind found on refrigerators everywhere, exist because their constituent atoms behave as miniature magnets. They align and combine to form the larger magnet in a phenomenon ...

Researchers used epitaxial strain on ultra-thin ruthenium oxide layers to induce magnetism in a material typically known for being metallic but nonmagnetic. (Nanowerk News) In a new study, researchers ...

Prospective digital data storage devices rely on novel fundamental magnetic phenomena. The better we understand these phenomena, the better the memory chips and hard drives we can build. Physicists ...

For centuries, homing pigeons have amazed people with their ability to return home across vast distances. Even when released ...
