For over 100 years, physicists, chemists, and materials scientists have developed extensive theoretical and experimental machinery to predict and characterize the electronic properties of magnetic ...

A team led by Physics professors Kai Liu and Gen Yin and graduate student Willie Beeson (G’25) has discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals — a ...

X-rays are shone onto the magnetic material and the electrons given off from the surface are detected using a special microscope. This allows an image to be produced of the magnetism in the material ...

Physicist Davide Bossini from the University of Konstanz demonstrates how to change the frequency of the collective magnetic oscillations of a material by up to 40% – using commercially available ...

“Magnets, how do they work?” asked Insane Clown Posse, a hip-hop duo, in their 2009 song “Miracles”. A flurry of recent papers suggests physicists did not quite have the full picture either. A new ...
