The new miniaturized structure requires a few thousand times less power than larger magnets and it could help bring ...

In their research, Hasenfratz, Catterall, and Butt used renormalization group (RG) theory to study the more complex phase ...

A mysterious magnetic property of subatomic particles called muons hints that new fundamental particles may be lurking undiscovered. In a painstakingly precise experiment, muons’ gyrations within a ...

Skyrmions, in which electron spins inside a magnet are arranged like vortices, are a key structure in next-generation spintronics technology. KAIST researchers have shown that skyrmions can form using ...

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

Researchers found friction can occur without contact, driven by magnetic dynamics, and does not always increase with load. The effect could enable controllable, wear-free technologies.

When load increases steadily, so does friction, but in the realm of magnetization dynamics, things aren’t so simple.

There's a magnet in a secure room in central Tokyo. It's an electromagnet, the kind that generates a magnetic field when ...

Researchers have shown that certain metal-organic materials can act as permanent magnets at temperatures of up to 242 °C, while remaining magnetized in external magnetic fields as strong as 7500 ...

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 ...

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...
