Millions of people today carry around pocket-sized music players capable of holding thousands of songs, thanks to the discovery 20 years ago of a phenomenon known as the "giant magnetoresistance ...

According to a study published in Nature Materials, a collaborative research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the University of Science ...

In 2019, researchers discovered that two intrinsically magnetic materials, MnBi 2 Te 4 and MnBi 2 Te 7, can behave as topological insulators – materials that are electrically insulating in bulk, but ...

Magnetic Resonance at High Pressure New tools for probing the electric and magnetic fields of individual atoms in a solid can detect changes in the electronic structure that take place when the atoms ...

Interstellar space is fluffy. This is true. What's more, the veteran Voyager probes have just discovered that this fluff is more magnetized than previously believed, a factor that seems to allow its ...

Cosmic magnetic fields, though invisible to the naked eye, are pervasive throughout the universe, influencing galactic structure and star formation, and their energy is significant relative to a ...

Like a child scared to dive into a pool, cosmic matter needs one last push to plunge into a black hole. New observations confirm that magnetic fields provide this final galactic shove. The ...
