In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Amid the roilings of the Milky Way, immense pockets of gas coalesce into clouds where stars are born. In this process, there is a hidden ...

Scientists have confirmed the existence of a strange new form of magnetism. Hiding right under our noses, the team says that “altermagnetism” can be found in everyday materials and could have major ...

A research team has demonstrated that thin films of ruthenium dioxide (RuO₂) exhibit altermagnetism—the defining property of ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of magnetism. Experiments show that an artificially produced material becomes magnetic through a mechanism that hasn’t been seen before. The most ...

A new study reveals how trillionth-of-a-second light pulses strongly deflect magnetization by exploiting orbital-spin ...

A new class of magnetism called altermagnetism has been imaged for the first time in a new study. The findings could lead to the development of new magnetic memory devices with the potential to ...

Individual atoms with an odd number of electrons have a magnetic moment from the spin of the unpaired electron. Materials consisting of elements with an even number of electrons—such as carbon, ...

Kodaikanal Observatory solar data pinpoints strongest solar magnetism zones. Discover new insights into solar dynamo & space weather forecasting ...

A fundamental property of magnetism has been disclosed through new research. The discovery may be key to development of a new generation of powerful computers. Our electronics can no longer shrink and ...

Using a dual-cation substitution approach, researchers at Science Tokyo introduced ferromagnetism into bismuth ferrite, a ...
