Conventional hard disks are based on ferromagnets—materials in which the magnetic dipoles, or spins, associated with each atom all point in the same direction. This alignment gives the material a net ...

Scientists for the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration say the magnetic structure of the Milky Way’s central Sagittarius A* black hole is “strikingly similar” to the bigger singularity in the middle ...

Non-collinear antiferromagnetic materials, which have a net magnetic moment nearly zero, yet exhibit significant anomalous transverse transport properties, are considered as candidate materials for ...

The electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials both have strong potential for technological applications. Researchers have long assumed that they are distinct phenomena, but ...

Scientists at the University of Manchester have discovered that placing magnetic films on atomically thin molybdenum ...

Figure (a) shows the crystal and spin structure of MnTe, with manganese atoms in red and blue and tellurium atoms in yellow. Figure (b) illustrates how circularly polarized light produces distinct ...

Deep inside the Milky Way, an invisible force is quietly holding everything together — its magnetic field. Now, researchers have created one of the most detailed maps ever of this hidden structure, ...

A twist you'll never see coming: a breakthrough in understanding the relationship between chirality and electric flow at a microscopic level may help us develop chiral information technology.

A controversial technique has produced detailed maps of the magnetic fields in colossal galaxy clusters. If confirmed, the approach could be used to reveal where cosmic magnetic fields come from. By ...
