Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating ...

Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Study demonstrates a chiral fermionic valve that separates handedness via quantum geometry, enabling transport and ...

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 ...

The entry of quantum computers into society is currently hindered by their sensitivity to disturbances in the environment. Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, and Aalto ...

For all this time, we’ve known of only two types of magnets: ferromagnets, which stick to your fridge, and antiferromagnets, which don’t. But now, scientists have discovered a third kind of magnetism ...

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 ...

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 ...
