Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious ...

Libor Šmejkal has a fondness for the artwork of M. C. Escher, whose work was often inspired by mathematics. One of Šmejkal’s favourite pieces is Horseman, a striking picture that features an elaborate ...

Since the discovery of superconductivity in Sr 2 RuO 4 in 1994, hundreds of studies have been published on this compound, which have suggested that Sr 2 RuO 4 is a very special system with unique ...

Magnetism plays a crucial role in enabling various applications, ranging from memory storage devices to advanced medical imaging, energy-efficient electric motors, magnetic sensors, and emerging ...

Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same ...

Scientists have observed yet another type of magnetism for the first time within a lab-made crystal, promising to drive improvements in efficiency and speed in electronics as well as open new areas to ...

All the magnets you have ever interacted with, such as the tchotchkes stuck to your refrigerator door, are magnetic for the same reason. But what if there were another, stranger way to make a material ...

The fundamental magnetic phases are defined by the specific spontaneous arrangements of magnetic moments -- or electron spins -- and of atoms that carry the moments in crystals. Ferromagnets are the ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of magnetism. Experiments show that an artificially produced material becomes magnetic through a mechanism that hasn’t been seen before. The most ...

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 give rise to ...

Scientists have made a path-breaking discovery in strontium ruthenate -- with potential for new applications in quantum electronics. Scientists have made a path-breaking discovery in strontium ...
