Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed ...

Skyrmions, in which electron spins inside a magnet are arranged like vortices, are a key structure in next-generation spintronics technology. KAIST researchers have shown that skyrmions can form using ...

Physicists show that magnetoelastic coupling, present in nearly all magnets, can generate skyrmion arrays without crystal ...

A material thought to be a quantum spin liquid actually exhibits a newly identified magnetic state caused by competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions. Materials that enter a quantum ...

Cutting patterns into elastic materials allows you to unfold those materials into new shapes, and researchers have now demonstrated the ability to control the sequence in which that unfolding happens ...

Artificial intelligence is colliding with a hard physical limit: the energy and heat of today’s silicon-based chips. As models grow from billions to trillions of parameters, the bottleneck is no ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

MP Materials could be a game-changer in the rare-earth industry as the U.S. looks to secure domestic sources of these crucial ...

The discovery of new quantum materials with magnetic properties are believed to pave the way for ultra-fast and considerably more energy efficient computers and mobile devices. So far, these types of ...

Magnetic sensors quietly underpin everything from smartphone compasses to the stability systems that keep electric vehicles on the road, and the race to make them smaller, faster and more sensitive is ...

A new magnetic material called a p-wave magnet uses helical electron spin patterns that deflect electric current, enabling smaller and more efficient computer chips. (Nanowerk News) Magnetism, as we ...

MP Materials has chosen Northlake, Texas, for its $1.25 billion rare earth magnet factory as the U.S. rushes to secure domestic supplies of critical minerals.
