For over 100 years, physicists, chemists, and materials scientists have developed extensive theoretical and experimental machinery to predict and characterize the electronic properties of magnetic ...

Humans have been aware of the strange phenomenon of magnetism for over 2,000 years. From ancient Greece through modern times, researchers have steadily improved upon humanity’s fundamental ...

“Magnets, how do they work?” asked Insane Clown Posse, a hip-hop duo, in their 2009 song “Miracles”. A flurry of recent papers suggests physicists did not quite have the full picture either. A new ...

Florida State University researchers have created a new crystalline material with unusual magnetic patterns that could be used for breakthroughs in data storage and quantum technologies. In a study ...

Molecule-based magnets like vanadium tetracyanoethylene are extremely sensitive to air, impeding their use in practical quantum devices. Researchers coated vanadium tetracyanoethylene with an ...

Modern electronics are a far cry from what Michael Faraday, the pioneer of electrical gadgetry, can ever have imagined possible. But he’d surely be pleased, if only because the magnet, the component ...
