Scientists at the University of Manchester have discovered that placing magnetic films on atomically thin molybdenum ...

Physicists in China have uncovered new evidence that chiral phonons and magnons can interact strongly inside magnetic crystals. Using neutron spectroscopy, a team led by Song Bao at Nanjing University ...

In superconductors, electrons zip around with virtually no resistance or energy loss. In insulators, however, they barely move, lacking the energy to overcome high resistance. Strangely, scientists ...

Most materials we use in everyday life expand slightly when heated and return to their original size when cooled. In addition ...

The development of permanent magnets continues to be driven by the need for improved magnetic properties coupled with robust mechanical performance. Advances in materials science have revealed that ...

Since their relatively recent appearance on the commercial scene, rare-earth magnets have made quite a splash in the public imagination. The amount of magnetic energy packed into these tiny, shiny ...

An international team of researchers led by the Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal (UMR 5031, CNRS -University of Bordeaux) has discovered a novel way to design magnets with outstanding physical ...

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 ...

The magnet is the characteristic substance that draws in the ferromagnetic material like iron or nickel by the force of attraction. Individuals depend on magnets for industrial and commercial use.

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable ...

The origins of magnetic steel can be traced back to the 18 th century when scientists began experimenting with iron alloys. In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted's accidental discovery of electromagnetism ...
