When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

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 ...

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

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

Research is actively underway to develop a "dream memory" that can reduce heat generation in smartphones and laptops while ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

(Nanowerk News) Not all magnets are the same. When we think of magnetism, we often think of magnets that stick to a refrigerator’s door. For these types of magnets, the electronic interactions that ...

Strange things happen to materials when you peel them down, layer by layer, from thick chunks all the way to sheets just an ...

EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — As consumers continue to demand ever-faster computers with more and more larger data capacity, a team of researchers from the University of Texas at El Paso among others ...

Physicists weren’t sure why Moon rocks brought back during the Apollo missions are more strongly magnetized than models predict ...
