The difficulty with quantum spin liquids is that nature prefers order. In ordinary magnetic materials, unpaired electrons ...

Magnets tuned with lasers at room temperature could lead to faster hard drives and a new generation of computer chips.

Hybrid magnet for "neutron scattering" experiments to be built. The planned magnet will produce a magnetic field between 25 tesla and 30 tesla -- more than half a million times stronger than the Earth ...

Though predicted to exist, magnetic monopoles — hypothetical elementary particles with only one magnetic pole — have never been detected by scientists. But physicists have just accomplished the next ...

Create your own magnetic slime and discover how ferromagnetic materials interact with magnetic fields. You'll learn about magnetism, viscosity, and chemical reactions while making a fascinating ...

The strongest superconducting user magnet in the world currently has a field strength of 23.5 tesla. When this ambitious project is completed in 2017, the strongest superconducting magnet on the ...

Earth's magnetic field, a familiar directional indicator over long distances, is routinely probed in applications ranging from geology to archaeology. Now it has provided the basis for a technique ...

The Standard Model, also known as the Theory of Almost Everything, describes how the fundamental particles of the universe interact. But the model isn’t complete: It fails to account for dark energy ...
