Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed-matter physics that were long considered separate. The electronic and ...

Humans have been aware of the strange phenomenon of magnetism for over 2,000 years. From ancient Greece through modern times, researchers have steadily improved upon humanity’s fundamental ...

X-rays are shone onto the magnetic material and the electrons given off from the surface are detected using a special microscope. This allows an image to be produced of the magnetism in the material ...

When scientists shrink materials down to extremely thin layers—sometimes just a single atom thick—their behavior can become ...

Strange things happen to materials when you peel them down, layer by layer, from thick chunks all the way to sheets just an ...

The best candidate for next-generation magnetic devices—technology that can power, store, sense or transport information—may be, counterintuitively, antiferromagnets. Today, the most widely used ...

Researchers from Florida State University have discovered a novel way to create a particular class of 2D material and enhance its magnetic characteristics. The journal Angewandte Chemie published the ...

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable ...

For over 100 years, physicists, chemists, and materials scientists have developed extensive theoretical and experimental machinery to predict and characterize the electronic properties of magnetic ...
