Scientists have demonstrated that light alone can reversibly control magnetism in a topological material. Researchers at the University of Basel and ETH Zurich have found a way to flip the magnetic ...

A strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...

From galaxies to the Sun, new research explains how turbulent motion can produce large-scale magnetic fields that remain ...

Before two dead stars slam together in one of the universe’s most violent events, their magnetic fields erupt in a storm so intense it can light up space long before the crash. Using a powerful ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same time. Since superconductivity usually relies on electron pairing that can be ...

Imagine computer hardware that is blazing fast and stores more data in less space. That's the promise of antiferromagnets, ...

By shining a focused laser beam onto a sample of material, a team at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and ETH Zürich showed ...

Discover three captivating science experiments that bring physics concepts to life! Watch as a water balloon burst in slow ...

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated an entirely new form of magnetism in a synthesized crystalline material. They're calling it p-wave magnetism. This discovery is ...
