This video explores the nature of magnets and how they create invisible magnetic forces. It explains the origin of magnetism, how magnetic fields are formed, and the role of electrons in generating ...

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

Controlling magnetic states in materials typically requires continuous power or only works in rare, specialized systems. Researchers developed a general theory showing how electric fields can ...

A study has found a rare form of one-dimensional quantum magnetism in a metallic compound, offering evidence into a phase space that has remained, until now, largely theoretical. The study comes at a ...

Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect electrical order, the other on internal magnetic chaos. Now researchers at MIT ...
