“Magnets, how do they work?” asked Insane Clown Posse, a hip-hop duo, in their 2009 song “Miracles”. A flurry of recent papers suggests physicists did not quite have the full picture either. A new ...

For the first time, scientists have imaged an entirely new form of magnetism called altermagnetism. The researchers used cutting-edge x-ray techniques to visualize and fine-tune this novel magnetic ...

A team led by Physics professors Kai Liu and Gen Yin and graduate student Willie Beeson (G’25) has discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals — a ...

Researchers have unlocked a new method for producing one class of 2D material and for supercharging its magnetic properties. At just a few atoms of thickness, 2D materials offer revolutionary ...

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 Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are pioneering the design and synthesis of quantum ...

A research team has demonstrated that a simple stack of thermoelectric and magnetic material layers can exhibit a substantially larger transverse thermoelectric effect -- energy conversion between ...

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