By cooling an atom-thin magnetic material, physicists have experimentally confirmed a classic 1970s model of two-dimensional ...

Physicists in China have uncovered new evidence that chiral phonons and magnons can interact strongly inside magnetic crystals. Using neutron spectroscopy, a team led by Song Bao at Nanjing University ...

The Standard Model, also known as the Theory of Almost Everything, describes how the fundamental particles of the universe interact. But the model isn’t complete: It fails to account for dark energy ...

AMES, Iowa – A tiny, solid sample of a drug, complete with active and inactive ingredients, spun at 50,000 revolutions per ...

Earth's magnetic field, a familiar directional indicator over long distances, is routinely probed in applications ranging from geology to archaeology. Now it has provided the basis for a technique ...

Though predicted to exist, magnetic monopoles — hypothetical elementary particles with only one magnetic pole — have never been detected by scientists. But physicists have just accomplished the next ...

Physicists investigated an unusual arrangement of three magnetic "swirls" - so called magnetic vortices - in a thin magnetic film. Their experiments unraveled the dynamic core movements of these ...

You’ve probably heard the term magnetic gradient before, but have you ever seen one? Now you can in [supermagnetman’s] video, below. The key is to use very fine (2 micron) iron filings and special ...

All magnets have a magnetic field – the area around a magnet where its magnetic force affects other objects. Depending on the strength of the magnet, this force may cover large or small distances. In ...
