The difficulty with quantum spin liquids is that nature prefers order. In ordinary magnetic materials, unpaired electrons ...

Researchers have identified an unexpected link between atomic magnetism and carbon mobility in steel. Researchers at the ...

An Auburn University study finds that magnetic fields can guide electrons in plasma much like traffic signals, giving ...

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

Yale researchers may have solved a longstanding puzzle as to why certain metallic meteorites show traces of a magnetic field — a finding that may shed light on the formation of magnetic dynamos at the ...

Antiferromagnetic (AF) materials are made up of atoms or molecules with atomic spins that align in antiparallel directions of ...

There are several theories about how the Earth and the Moon were formed, most involving a giant impact. They vary from a model where the impacting object strikes the newly formed Earth a glancing blow ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...

Loggerhead turtles are able to sense Earth's magnetic field in two ways, but it wasn't clear which sense the animals use to detect the magnetic field when navigating using the magnetic map they are ...

One of the most peculiar things about Uranus and Neptune is their magnetic fields. Each of these planets has a hot mess of a magnetosphere, off-kilter and tilted wildly from the rotational axis in a ...
