In their research, Hasenfratz, Catterall, and Butt used renormalization group (RG) theory to study the more complex phase ...

When load increases steadily, so does friction, but in the realm of magnetization dynamics, things aren’t so simple.

Friction usually announces itself through contact. A chair scraping across a floor, a tire gripping asphalt, a hand sliding ...

Researchers found friction can occur without contact, driven by magnetic dynamics, and does not always increase with load. The effect could enable controllable, wear-free technologies.

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

The new miniaturized structure requires a few thousand times less power than larger magnets and it could help bring ...

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

(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 ...

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated an entirely new form of magnetism in a synthesized crystalline material. They're calling it p-wave magnetism. This discovery is ...

Magnets are essential tools that help scientists explore the deepest mysteries of physics, materials, and energy. While everyday magnets feel powerful, they are far behind the massive machines built ...
