Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have uncovered previously unobserved oscillation ...

By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

Scientists have used light to visualize magnetic domains, and manipulated these regions using an electric field, in a quantum antiferromagnet. This method allows real-time observation of magnetic ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Engineering atom interactions inside an artificial quantum material resulted in a new quantum state: the higher-order topological magnet. When different quantum states combine, new collective states ...

For decades, scientists have hunted for materials that defy conventional ideas of magnetism. Most magnetic materials, like the ones found in fridge magnets, behave in predictable ways. Their atomic ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

The year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of quantum mechanics. In the century since the field’s inception, scientists and engineers have used quantum mechanics to create technologies ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

A new study in Nature Physics has turned an old problem on its head by reporting a way to use the noisy interactions between ...

Light beams of varying intensities (yellow cylinders) help visualize magnetic domains (light and dark areas), separated by domain walls (red lines). When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a ...
