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 ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects from light using so-called metamaterials with extreme and often unrealistic ...

University of Leicester engineers have unveiled a concept for a device designed to magnetically "cloak" sensitive components, ...

Step into a world so tiny, it defies imagination -- the nanoscale. Picture a single strand of hair, now shrink it a million times. You've arrived. Here, atoms and molecules are the architects of ...

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 ...

Scientists have found an elusive third form of magnetism that could help solve a longstanding puzzle about superconductors. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Earth’s magnetic north pole has shifted toward Russia, prompting updates to GPS and navigation systems worldwide. Scientists track this invisible movement to keep technology accurate.

For about 700 years, magnetism has been known as the force that stands still. Last week a physicist claimed to have proved that magnetism moves. Professor Felix Ehrenhaft, formerly of Vienna, told the ...

One of the most pervasive and mysterious phenomena in the universe is magnetism. As the scientist knows it, magnetism is the invisible pull that surrounds magnets, electric currents and even the ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All the magnets you have ever interacted with, such as the tchotchkes stuck to your refrigerator door, are magnetic for the same reason.
