Physicists have uncovered a link between magnetism and a mysterious phase of matter called the pseudogap, which appears in ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...

“By controlling the plasma’s magnetic structure, especially how magnetic islands split and reorganize, it may be possible to ...

Auburn University physics PhD student Jessica Eskew has been awarded a prestigious U.S. Department of Energy Office of ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting them with extreme lasers. By harnessing excitons, short-lived energy pairs ...

A material cooled near absolute zero produced an electrical signal that physics said should not exist, revealing a new kind ...

In a paper published January 21 in Nature, a team led by scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have run complex numerical simulations of plasma flows that, while leading to turbulence, ...

Scientists have uncovered hidden magnetic order inside the pseudogap, bringing us closer to engineering high-temperature superconductors.

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Researchers studied a potassium cobalt arsenate honeycomb, uncovering magnetic behaviors that may lead to quantum spin ...
