A material thought to be a quantum spin liquid actually exhibits a newly identified magnetic state caused by competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions. Materials that enter a quantum ...

The relationship between friction and load, quantified three centuries ago, has an exception when the interaction causes ...

Skyrmions, in which electron spins inside a magnet are arranged like vortices, are a key structure in next-generation spintronics technology. KAIST researchers have shown that skyrmions can form using ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed ...

Artificial intelligence is colliding with a hard physical limit: the energy and heat of today’s silicon-based chips. As models grow from billions to trillions of parameters, the bottleneck is no ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...

The chirality lies in the geometry Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of nickel-based artificial chiral magnets ...

A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin ...

Organic magnetic materials represent an exciting frontier where the versatility of organic chemistry converges with the phenomena of magnetism. These materials, characterised by π‐conjugated systems ...

The rules about magnetic order may need to be rewritten. An international team of researchers found that it was possible to turn a non-magnetic material into a magnetic material by slicing it into ...
