Researchers have overturned a century-old physics rule about magnetic field detection. They engineered a custom quantum ...

Multi-k magnetism in iron oxide perovskites: a Kyoto University-led team used neutron diffraction to confirm that RBaFe2O6 ...

Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have discovered an unexpected form of the Hall effect, overturning the long-held ...

Magnets have a north pole and a south pole. Two of the same pole will repel each other, while opposites attract. Only certain materials, especially those that contain iron, can be magnets. And there’s ...

By studying X-rays coming through a magnetar's extreme magnetic field, astronomers may have confirmed space acting like a ...

Modern low-power solutions to computer memory rely heavily on the manipulation of the magnetic properties of materials. Understanding the influence of the chemical properties of these materials on ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS), in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory in the ...

One of the most enduring mysteries of particle physics may be finally resolved, two new studies suggest. The oddities of muons, subatomic particles that are relatives of electrons, are starting to ...

Discover the 25 fundamental physics concepts that govern our universe, from classical mechanics to quantum mysteries.

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...
