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 ...

Imagine shining a flashlight into a material and watching the light bend backward—or in an entirely unexpected direction—as ...

Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals—a breakthrough that could significantly advance clean energy ...

Researchers have unlocked a new method for producing one class of 2D material and for supercharging its magnetic properties. At just a few atoms of thickness, 2D materials offer revolutionary ...

A Czech and Spanish-led research team has demonstrated the ability to distinguish subtle differences between magnetic ground states using a new form of scanning probe microscopy.

Molecule-based magnets like vanadium tetracyanoethylene are extremely sensitive to air, impeding their use in practical quantum devices. Researchers coated vanadium tetracyanoethylene with an ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Making electronic devices smaller requires components that work reliably at tiny scales. While engineers have successfully miniaturized many electronic parts, they face a ...

Humans have been aware of the strange phenomenon of magnetism for over 2,000 years. From ancient Greece through modern times, researchers have steadily improved upon humanity’s fundamental ...
