Bilayer non-magnetic semiconductor shows transient spin control using linearly polarized light, laying groundwork for ...

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 ...

Most magnets – like those on a fridge door or in a compass – have two poles: north and south, or positive and negative, in a ...

A discovery by physicists is unlocking a new understanding of magnetism and electronic interactions in cutting-edge materials, potentially revolutionizing technology fields such as quantum computing ...

University of Toronto-led physicists have shown that hidden octupolar magnetic order leaves a detectable handedness signature ...

Korean researchers have developed a technique that momentarily generates magnetism in a non-magnetic semiconductor simply by ...

Magnets have a north pole and a south pole. Two of the same pole will repel each other, while opposites attract. Only certain materials, especially those that contain iron, can be magnets. And there’s ...

With the help of a "playground" they created for observing exotic physics, MIT scientists and colleagues have not only found a new way to manipulate magnetism in a material with light but have also ...

One of the most enduring mysteries of particle physics may be finally resolved, two new studies suggest. The oddities of muons, subatomic particles that are relatives of electrons, are starting to ...

A mysterious magnetic property of subatomic particles called muons hints that new fundamental particles may be lurking undiscovered. In a painstakingly precise experiment, muons’ gyrations within a ...

A matter-wave interferometer can probe the magnetism of a broad range of species, from single atoms to very large, weakly magnetic molecules. This year marks the centenary of the ground-breaking ...
