High-temperature superconductivity in the iron-based materials emerges from, or sometimes coexists with, their metallic or insulating parent compound states. This is surprising, as these undoped ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

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 ...

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 ...

Reaching out into the cosmos with invisible tendrils, magnetism is simultaneously otherwordly and mundane. These forces can pin a photo to your fridge or even billow off Earth’s poles to combat solar ...

A new class of magnetism called altermagnetism has been imaged for the first time in a new study. The findings could lead to the development of new magnetic memory devices with the potential to ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

A fundamental property of magnetism has been disclosed through new research. The discovery may be key to development of a new generation of powerful computers. Our electronics can no longer shrink and ...

Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect ...

Strange things happen when you stack and twist graphene. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Graphene, one of the world's strongest ...
