Altermagnets are a newly recognized class of antiferromagnets whose magnetic structure behaves very differently from what is ...

Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect ...

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

Scientists in Japan have confirmed that ultra-thin films of ruthenium dioxide belong to a newly recognized and powerful class of magnetic materials called altermagnets. These materials combine the ...

Scientists have confirmed the existence of a strange new form of magnetism. Hiding right under our noses, the team says that “altermagnetism” can be found in everyday materials and could have major ...

Magnetic materials are typically divided into ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic types, depending on their magnetic moments (electron spins), resulting in either macroscopic (net) magnetism or not.

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of magnetism. Experiments show that an artificially produced material becomes magnetic through a mechanism that hasn’t been seen before. The most ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Amid the roilings of the Milky Way, immense pockets of gas coalesce into clouds where stars are born. In this process, there is a hidden ...

Magnets, or the magnetic fields created by moving electric charges, can attract or repel other magnets, and change the motion of other charged particles. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Kodaikanal Observatory solar data pinpoints strongest solar magnetism zones. Discover new insights into solar dynamo & space weather forecasting ...
