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

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 ...

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

A team of scientists from the University of Liverpool have found two strange anomalies that have affected the Earth's ...

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

Most materials we use in everyday life expand slightly when heated and return to their original size when cooled. In addition to such thermal properties, materials can also have electrical properties ...

Researchers at ETH Zürich have built the most powerful miniature superconducting magnets ever demonstrated, ...

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 ...
