Most magnets are predictable. Cool them down, and their tiny magnetic moments snap into ...

Physicists have discovered that hidden magnetic order plays a key role in the pseudogap, a puzzling state of matter that ...

Physicists have uncovered a link between magnetism and a mysterious phase of matter called the pseudogap, which appears in ...

Physicists have been chasing quantum spin liquids for decades, hunting for materials where magnetic moments refuse to freeze ...

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

UD researchers develop optical method to detect magnetic behavior of antiferromagnets, paving the way for advanced computing ...

We’re probably all familiar with the Hall Effect, at least to the extent that it can be used to make solid-state sensors for magnetic fields. It’s a cool bit of applied physics, but there are other ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Measuring the world precisely is much harder than it sounds. At very small scales, ...
