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 ...

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 ...

Imagine computer hardware that is blazing fast and stores more data in less space. That's the promise of antiferromagnets, ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Research in the lab of UC Santa Barbara materials professor Stephen Wilson is focused on understanding the fundamental ...

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 ...
