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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As Homer Simpson once famously phrased, “ in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics ,” but a new and completely ...

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, ...

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 ...

Using a dual-cation substitution approach, researchers at Science Tokyo introduced ferromagnetism into bismuth ferrite, a well-known and promising multiferroic material for next-generation memory ...
