Researchers have found the first new type of magnet in nearly a century. Now, these strange "altermagnets" could help us ...

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 ...

More appear to be an example of human magnetism, no external magnetic field can be detected, and non-magnetic objects "stick" just as well. The phenomenon of variable skin stickiness is likely the ...

Magnetic materials are in high demand. They're essential to the energy storage innovations on which electrification depends ...

It is possible to differentiate coins by testing them with a magnet. For example, 5p and 10p coins made by the UK Royal Mint before January 2012 are not magnetic. 5p and 10p coins in the UK made ...

Magnetic anomalies abounded in the ancient natural world, where a lightning strike on a rock outcropping was much more likely than today. When hit by lightning, these rocks would undergo a process ...

The strength of Earth’s magnetic field and the amount of oxygen in its atmosphere seem to be correlated—and scientists want to know why ...

A puzzle over muons’ magnetic properties could have broken the standard model. But the theory bounced back.

Physicists discover and explain unexpected magnetism in atomically thin material. by Elizabeth A. Thomson, Materials Research Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...
