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 ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum computation. But in the quantum realm, things are not always what they seem ...

Collinear ordered magnetic materials have conventionally been put into two classes: ferromagnets, in which magnetic moments of neighbouring atoms point in the same direction; and antiferromagnets, in ...

When scientists shrink materials down to extremely thin layers—sometimes just a single atom thick—their behavior can become ...

For the first time, scientists have imaged an entirely new form of magnetism called altermagnetism. The researchers used cutting-edge x-ray techniques to visualize and fine-tune this novel magnetic ...

"Also, these materials are tricky to integrate into memory devices, and our hope is to find other materials that will show similar behavior which can be integrated easily." The researchers eventually ...

Most materials we use in everyday life expand when they are heated. Metals, plastics, and many other materials grow slightly ...

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 ...
