Hybrid materials made of magnets and superconductors give rise to fascinating quantum phenomena, which are so sensitive that ...

New research reveals light's magnetic field directly influences matter, causing scientists to rethink the 'Faraday Effect.' ...

A NIMS research team has developed a new experimental method capable of rapidly evaluating numerous material compositions by ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have overturned a 180-year-old scientific assumption, proving ...

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 ...

The field of physics has long known about electron “spin waves”, which act like ripples on a pond, but through a magnet. However, a team of researchers recently examined something entirely new called ...

The quantum Hall effect, a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic current. It arises from the motion of electrons on an orbit around the nuclei of ...

For the first time in nearly a century, physicists have identified a brand new type of magnetic material. Crack open a physics textbook and you may read that scientists classify magnetic materials ...

Deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert, scientists studied a green crystal called atacamite—and discovered it can cool itself dramatically when placed in a magnetic field. Unlike a regular fridge, this effect ...

An already gigantic hole in Earth’s natural force field has grown by nearly half the size of Europe in 10 years, according to a new study. The Earth is protected by the cosmic equivalent of cling film ...
