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 ...

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

Researchers have created DNA-like magnetic nanostructures that form strong inter-helix magnetic bonds. These produce topological textures in the magnetic field, opening the door to the next generation ...

The traditional method for visualizing magnetic fields, which your science teacher probably demonstrated at some point, is to sprinkle some iron filings onto a piece of paper and hold it over a magnet ...

Our Sun is far from a smooth, white ball in the sky. Twisting and looping magnetic field lines rise from its surface like hair, causing dark, transient patches on the surface called sunspots wherever ...

Researchers at Aalto University have shown that a nanoparticle suspension can serve as a simple model for studying the formation of patterns and structures in more complicated non-equilibrium systems, ...
