For about 700 years, magnetism has been known as the force that stands still. Last week a physicist claimed to have proved that magnetism moves. Professor Felix Ehrenhaft, formerly of Vienna, told the ...

A new review paper on magnetic topological materials introduces the new theoretical concept that interweave magnetism and topology. The new review paper on magnetic topological materials of Andrei ...

There is now a new addition to the magnetic family: thanks to experiments at the Swiss Light Source SLS, researchers have proved the existence of altermagnetism. The experimental discovery of this new ...

Researchers have discovered that light -- from a laser -- can trigger a form of magnetism in a normally nonmagnetic material. This magnetism centers on the behavior of electrons 'spins,' which have a ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers have found a way to merge the properties of ferromagnetic materials (whose atoms spin in the same direction) and antiferromagnetic ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

For the first time, scientists have imaged an entirely new form of magnetism called altermagnetism. The researchers used cutting-edge x-ray techniques to visualize and fine-tune this novel magnetic ...

Scientists have found an elusive third form of magnetism that could help solve a longstanding puzzle about superconductors. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Magnetism plays a crucial role in enabling various applications, ranging from memory storage devices to advanced medical imaging, energy-efficient electric motors, magnetic sensors, and emerging ...

THE HUMBLE magnet may not seem to belong alongside steel, microchips and oil as a chess piece in the great diplomatic game. But on April 4th, as part of its retaliation against America’s tariffs, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All the magnets you have ever interacted with, such as the tchotchkes stuck to your refrigerator door, are magnetic for the same reason.
