From quantum spins in exotic 2D materials to the magnets in your kitchen appliances, magnetism is everywhere — quietly powering, protecting, and connecting our lives. Scientists are now mapping its ...

Astrophysics faces a paradox: several independent measurements of the speed at which the cosmos is growing do not agree. This ...

Researchers have found that magnetic fields buried deep inside stars can survive their entire lifetimes and later reappear on ...

On a breezy afternoon last autumn in Cambridge, Mass., in a laboratory thrumming with the huff-whish-huff sound of ...

I have a confession: I'm obsessed with magnets. We rely on magnets every day, but seldom give them a second thought. There are magnets in your credit card, your cellphone, your car, microwave oven and ...

Reaching out into the cosmos with invisible tendrils, magnetism is simultaneously otherwordly and mundane. These forces can pin a photo to your fridge or even billow off Earth’s poles to combat solar ...

Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory are advancing next-generation electronics by unlocking the behavior of ...

Also known as magnetoelectronics, spintronics rely on electron spin rather than electron charge, as found in traditional ...

In the beginning, there was no magnetism. Immediately after the Big Bang, the universe contained an awesomely hot cloud of electrically charged protons, electrons, helium and lithium nuclei. Each ...

Scientists in the US have uncovered that hematite features a rare and emerging form ...

Individual atoms with an odd number of electrons have a magnetic moment from the spin of the unpaired electron. Materials consisting of elements with an even number of electrons—such as carbon, ...
