Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

Research is actively underway to develop a "dream memory" that can reduce heat generation in smartphones and laptops while ...

Scientists have discovered quantum vibrations in a crystal that link heat, sound, and magnetism for the first time.

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 ...

(Javier Zayas Photography/Moment/Getty Images) A new study may have solved a long-standing mystery about the Moon's magnetism: Why do lunar rocks brought back by the Apollo missions show evidence of ...

Scientists detect the fastest brown dwarf, 2M2228, using radio waves, revealing new insights into magnetism and space weather ...

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 ...

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 ...

Individual atoms with an odd number of electrons have a magnetic moment from the spin of the unpaired electron. Materials consisting of elements with an even number of electrons—such as carbon, ...

In the beginning, there was no magnetism. Immediately after the Big Bang, the universe contained an awesomely hot cloud of electrically charged protons, electrons, helium and lithium nuclei. Each ...
