A team led by University at Buffalo physicists has found a mathematical solution that shows how a frustrated quantum magnet ...

Researchers turned a paramagnetic material into a magnet by manipulating electrons' spin via atomic motion. Quantum materials hold the key to a future of lightning-speed, energy-efficient information ...

Electricity, Magnetism, and Light Become OneIn the 19th century, while thermodynamics was chasing the steam engine, another ...

The Committee to Assess the Current Status and Future Direction of High Magnetic Field Science in the United States was convened by the National Research Council in response to a request by the ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

In response to an informal request from the National Science Foundation, the National Research Council convened the Committee on Opportunities in High Magnetic Field Science in mid-2003. The committee ...

UC San Diego engineers showed that carefully shaped ultrafast laser beams can reverse magnetization in platinum-cobalt ...

The particle accelerators that enable high-energy physics and serve many fields of science, such as materials, medical, and fusion research, are driven by superconducting magnets that are, to put it ...

Cosmic rays let a telescope read thunderstorms from the ground, and Earth's magnetic field explains why it sees far more storms to the east.
