Most magnets are predictable. Cool them down, and their tiny magnetic moments snap into ...

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

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 ...

Physicists have been chasing quantum spin liquids for decades, hunting for materials where magnetic moments refuse to freeze ...

Physicists have uncovered a link between magnetism and a mysterious phase of matter called the pseudogap, which appears in ...

Scientists have used state-of-the-art 3D printing and microscopy to provide a new glimpse of what happens when taking magnets to three-dimensions on the nanoscale – 1000 times smaller than a human ...

Physicists have discovered a much faster approach to create a pattern of spins in a magnet. This 'shortcut' opens a new chapter in topology research. Interestingly, this discovery also offers an ...

A new kind of quantum magnet is made out of atoms only a billionth of a degree warmer than absolute zero – and physicists aren’t sure how it behaves. A regular magnet repels or attracts magnetic ...
