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 ...

Magnetism is usually taught as a story of straight lines, with field arrows marching neatly from north to south. In a lab at ...

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

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...

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 ...

A research team led by Kuang Guangli and Jiang Donghui at the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the Hefei Institutes of ...

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, ...

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 ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? The search for magnetic monopoles has consumed the field of condensed matter physics ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

There’s a long-circulating meme on the internet that is basically a question: Would a magnet-propelled vehicle work? (Here’s a version of it posted on Reddit.) It’s a very simple drawing of a pickup ...
