By forcing crystal structures to compete, scientists uncovered a new way to make magnetism twist. Florida State University ...

Magnetism is usually taught as a story of straight lines, with field arrows marching neatly from north to south. In a lab at Florida State University, that picture has just been shattered by a new ...

Altermagnets are a newly recognized class of antiferromagnets whose magnetic structure behaves very differently from what is ...

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 ...

Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect ...

There is now a new addition to the magnetic family: thanks to experiments at the Swiss Light Source SLS, researchers have proved the existence of altermagnetism. The experimental discovery of this new ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ah, magnets. Refrigerators are full of ’em. They power our Netflix binge-sessions. When broken down into tiny pieces and smashed into Silly Putty, they can provide hours of fun. But how do magnets ...

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, ...
