Multiferroics are materials that exhibit more than one ferroic property, typically ferroelectricity (i.e., a spontaneous electric polarization that can be reversed by electric fields) and ...

A newly proposed quantum sensing technique could make it much easier to identify one of physics’ newest and most intriguing ...

Not all magnets are the same. When we think of magnetism, we often think of magnets that stick to a refrigerator’s door. For these types of magnets, the electronic interactions that give rise to ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

In collaboration with international partners, researchers at the University of Stuttgart have experimentally demonstrated a previously unknown form of magnetism in atomically thin material layers. The ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. On a breezy afternoon last autumn in Cambridge, Mass., in a laboratory thrumming with the huff-whish-huff sound of refrigeration ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of magnetism in 2D materials that can help store data. The team led by researchers from the University of Stuttgart experimentally demonstrated the previously ...

(Nanowerk News) Not all magnets are the same. When we think of magnetism, we often think of magnets that stick to a refrigerator’s door. For these types of magnets, the electronic interactions that ...
