University of Toronto-led physicists have shown that hidden octupolar magnetic order leaves a detectable handedness signature ...

Most magnets have two poles: north and south, or positive and negative, in a familiar arrangement called a "dipole." But ...

Before the sun fully formed, tiny bits of rock were already recording the magnetic forces present in the very early solar ...

(imagedb.com/Shutterstock.com) Unlike what a certain donut company suggests, the world actually runs on magnetism. It's essential for generating power, building (electric) vehicles, and powering ...

Magnetism in molecular materials is not written into the molecules alone. It emerges from how those molecules sit next to one ...

A team led by University at Buffalo physicists has found a mathematical solution that shows how a frustrated quantum magnet ...

Electricity, Magnetism, and Light Become OneIn the 19th century, while thermodynamics was chasing the steam engine, another ...

Magnets like this one are great at picking up metal objects like these, but once you pick them up how do you let them go? For that you need a special type of magnet – an electromagnet. Magnetism and ...

Ancient grains inside one of the oldest known meteorites reveal that a surprisingly strong magnetic field existed during the solar system’s first 200,000 years. The discovery suggests magnetism worked ...

An exhibition blending early 20th-century scientific research, maritime history and sculpture is opening in Wilmington’s ...

A fundamental property of magnetism has been disclosed through new research. The discovery may be key to development of a new generation of powerful computers. Our electronics can no longer shrink and ...
