What we thought would be another chill day of magnet fishing turned into something straight out of a crime drama. When we pulled up what looked like real murder evidence, we had no choice but to call ...

Scientists have discovered a rare form of one-dimensional quantum magnetism in a metallic compound called Ti4MnBi2, marking a ...

In magnetic reconnection, adjacent magnetic field lines break and snap together to form new lines. This process converts ...

"Magnetar birth rates and formation scenarios are among the most pressing questions in high-energy astrophysics." ...

What started as a normal magnet fishing day quickly turned serious when we pulled something out of the water that looked ...

A mysterious menagerie of quantum states — once purely theoretical — has been brought to life by researchers at Columbia ...

But that looks soon to change, thanks to the recent discovery of altermagnets. Now scientists are putting forth ideas for efficient switches to manage magnetism in devices. Magnetism has ...

Scientists have discovered two rare white dwarfs—which are among the dimmest stars in the universe—that feature changes in ...

Stars are the architects of nearly all the chemical elements in the universe, including ones crucial to life as we know it, such as carbon and oxygen. Yet, despite decades of research, aspects of star ...

Quasicrystals are intriguing materials with long-range atomic order that lack periodicity. It has been a longstanding ...

Bloch and Purcell were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1952 for their discovery of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. The NMR phenomenon relies on the interaction of the nuclei of ...
