An MIT research team has observed a previously unseen form of magnetism, one that sits outside the familiar categories of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. The discovery, termed p-wave magnetism, ...

Electrons inherently carry both spin and orbital angular momentum (i.e., properties that help to understand the rotating motions and behavior of particles). While some physicists and engineers have ...

A long-standing mystery in spintronics has just been shaken up. A strange electrical effect called unusual magnetoresistance shows up almost everywhere scientists look—even in systems where the ...

Researchers have observed directly and for the first time magnetoacoustic waves (sound-driven spin waves), which are considered as potential information carriers for novel computation schemes. These ...

I HAVE read with interest Prof. Barrett's paper in NATURE, vol. xxvi. p. 585. Between his results as to the effect of magnetisation on the dimensions of bars of iron, of steel, and of nickel, and ...

Free electron X-ray lasers deliver intense ultrashort pulses of x-rays, which can be used to image nanometer-scale objects in a single shot. When the x-ray wavelength is tuned to an electronic ...

Pacific Fusion’s simplified fusion target, tested at Sandia, could remove costly magnetic coils and lower reactor costs.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was developed to detect protons, and has since then been applied in studying the molecular structure of proteins, RNA, DNA complexes, and interactions ...

Tests of glass samples gathered on Apollo missions show magnetization may result from impacts of objects like meteors, not as a result of magnetization from the presence of a magnetic shield. In 2024, ...
