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 ...

At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or spins, align in one of two ways: all pointing in the same direction in ...

When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

MP Materials has chosen Northlake, Texas, for its $1.25 billion rare earth magnet factory as the U.S. rushes to secure domestic supplies of critical minerals.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have demonstrated that stacking two quantum materials on top of each other can flip electron spin at room temperature using tiny currents and no ...

Spintronics—a technology that harnesses the electron's magnetic quantum states to carry information—could pave the way for a new generation of ultra-energy-efficient electronics. Yet a major challenge ...

The discovery of new quantum materials with magnetic properties are believed to pave the way for ultra-fast and considerably more energy efficient computers and mobile devices. So far, these types of ...

E arlier this month, Apple announced a new commitment of $500 million with MP Materials, the only fully integrated rare earth producer in the United States. With this multiyear deal, Apple is ...

Most materials we use in everyday life expand slightly when heated and return to their original size when cooled. In addition ...

An international team of researchers has developed a new method for parameterizing machine-learning interatomic potentials (MLIP) to simulate magnetic materials, making the prediction of their ...

Organic magnetic materials represent an exciting frontier where the versatility of organic chemistry converges with the phenomena of magnetism. These materials, characterised by π‐conjugated systems ...

Vinod M. Menon and his research group at The City College of New York shows that trapping light inside magnetic materials may dramatically enhance their intrinsic properties. Strong optical responses ...
