RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special ...

By partnering with artificial intelligence (AI), a researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has solved a long-standing physics problem and uncovered the ...

Artificial intelligence has just cracked a problem that has frustrated condensed matter theorists for decades, turning a long-standing maze in frustrated magnet physics into a solved benchmark. By ...

Theoretical physicist Ziqiang Wang and researcher Kun Jiang, Ph.D. '18, help an international team of colleagues explain new findngs in the kagome magnet Boston College researcher Kun Jiang and ...

A discovery by physicists is unlocking a new understanding of magnetism and electronic interactions in cutting-edge materials, potentially revolutionizing technology fields such as quantum computing ...

A magnetic cloak works by diverting external magnetic fields so that, to an external observer, the object appears to be absent or invisible. Although this idea ...

There’s something strangely fascinating about the idea that a person could attract metal objects to their body like a living refrigerator door. Videos of people sticking spoons, coins, or even frying ...

High-temperature superconductor magnets have the potential to lower the costs of operating particle accelerators and enable powerful new technologies like fusion reactors. But quenches -- the sudden, ...

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated an entirely new form of magnetism in a synthesized crystalline material. They're calling it p-wave magnetism. This discovery is ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

There’s a long-circulating meme on the internet that is basically a question: Would a magnet-propelled vehicle work? (Here’s a version of it posted on Reddit.) It’s a very simple drawing of a pickup ...
