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 ...

Digital data will consume one of the world’s largest energy shares within a few decades. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have unveiled a breakthrough to solve this issue ...

Magnetism is usually taught as a story of straight lines, with field arrows marching neatly from north to south. In a lab at Florida State University, that picture has just been shattered by a new ...

HOUSTON – (Sept. 14, 2022) – Physicists have discovered a material in which atoms are arranged in a way that so frustrates the movement of electrons that they engage in a collective dance where their ...

The electrons that power our society flow left and right through the circuitry in our electronics, back and forth along the ...

Nematic materials are made of elongated molecules that align in a preferred direction, but, like in a fluid, are spaced out irregularly. The best-known nematic materials are liquid crystals, which are ...

Physicists have published an array of experimental evidence showing that the ordered magnetic arrangement of electrons in crystals of iron-germanium plays an integral role in bringing about an ordered ...

A research team led by associate Prof. YIN Lihua from Institute of Solid State physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) demonstrated clear control of ...

Researchers have uncovered an altogether new type of fractal appearing in a class of magnets called spin ices. The discovery was surprising because the fractals were seen in a clean three-dimensional ...
