The Sun’s magnetic field is invisible to our eyes, but it quietly shapes everything from the shimmering auroras over the ...

Altermagnets are a newly recognized class of antiferromagnets whose magnetic structure behaves very differently from what is ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

Scientists have confirmed the existence of a strange new form of magnetism. Hiding right under our noses, the team says that “altermagnetism” can be found in everyday materials and could have major ...

Scientists in Japan have confirmed that ultra-thin films of ruthenium dioxide belong to a newly recognized and powerful class of magnetic materials called altermagnets. These materials combine the ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of magnetism. Experiments show that an artificially produced material becomes magnetic through a mechanism that hasn’t been seen before. The most ...

Magnets, or the magnetic fields created by moving electric charges, can attract or repel other magnets, and change the motion of other charged particles. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Amid the roilings of the Milky Way, immense pockets of gas coalesce into clouds where stars are born. In this process, there is a hidden ...

Ah, magnets. Refrigerators are full of ’em. They power our Netflix binge-sessions. When broken down into tiny pieces and smashed into Silly Putty, they can provide hours of fun. But how do magnets ...
