For over 100 years, physicists, chemists, and materials scientists have developed extensive theoretical and experimental machinery to predict and characterize the electronic properties of magnetic ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed-matter physics that were long considered separate. The electronic and ...

A research team has demonstrated that thin films of ruthenium dioxide (RuO₂) exhibit altermagnetism—the defining property of what is now recognized as the third fundamental class of magnetic materials ...

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 ...

Researchers from Florida State University have discovered a novel way to create a particular class of 2D material and enhance its magnetic characteristics. The journal Angewandte Chemie published the ...

The best candidate for next-generation magnetic devices—technology that can power, store, sense or transport information—may be, counterintuitively, antiferromagnets. Today, the most widely used ...

"Also, these materials are tricky to integrate into memory devices, and our hope is to find other materials that will show similar behavior which can be integrated easily." The researchers eventually ...

Strange things happen to materials when you peel them down, layer by layer, from thick chunks all the way to sheets just an ...

When scientists shrink materials down to extremely thin layers—sometimes just a single atom thick—their behavior can become ...

Molecule-based magnets like vanadium tetracyanoethylene are extremely sensitive to air, impeding their use in practical quantum devices. Researchers coated vanadium tetracyanoethylene with an ...

Humans have been aware of the strange phenomenon of magnetism for over 2,000 years. From ancient Greece through modern times, researchers have steadily improved upon humanity’s fundamental ...
