Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In ...

For a few brief nights each year, you get a rare chance to watch a monster blink. The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration ...

Explore the fascinating interaction between magnetism and electricity in Python Physics #34! In this video, we visualize how magnetic fields affect a current-carrying loop using Python simulations.

Like a shaggy dog in springtime, some black holes have to shed. New computer simulations reveal how black holes might discard their magnetic fields. Unlike dogs with their varied fur coats, isolated ...

Earth’s magnetic field does not simply switch direction like a flipped light switch. It weakens, wanders, and reorganizes ...

A study using the Very Large Array radio telescope may have discovered a magnetic field on exoplanet YZ Ceti b. Magnetic fields protect planets from energetic particles that can strip away atmospheres ...

A subtle twist between atomically thin magnetic layers can generate unexpectedly large and complex spin structures.

Phonons are the collective vibrations that move through a solid. They can be thought of as waves traveling across the atomic ...

As someone who studies materials, Lu Li knows people want to hear about the exciting new applications and technologies his discoveries could enable. Sometimes, though, what he finds is just too weird ...
