For nearly a century, there were two known kinds of magnets. Ferromagnets are the classic magnets that attract metal and keep pictures stuck to the refrigerator. Antiferromagnets hide their magnetism ...

Atomic-scale magnetic patterns resembling a hedgehog's spikes could result in hard disks with massively larger capacities than today's devices, a new study suggests. The finding could help data ...

The advance of magnetic nanotechnologies relies on detailed understanding of nanoscale magnetic mechanisms in materials. Magnetic domain memory (MDM), that is, the tendency for magnetic domains to ...

The formation of intricate domain patterns on mesoscopic as well as macroscopic length scales is connected with the competition between short-range attractive and long-range repulsive interactions. In ...

The magnetic fields lacing through galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments have no business being there. The early universe was ...

An international collaboration has succeeded in using synchrotron light to detect and record the complex 3-D magnetization in wound magnetic layers. This technique could be important in the ...

The rapid increase in electric vehicle adoption in recent years has highlighted a crucial issue: the energy conversion efficiency of electric motors. In electric motors, iron loss or magnetic ...

For more than two decades, a global network of telescopes has been eavesdropping on the sun by tracking millions of tiny ...

Anticancer treatment strategies increasingly seek to raise reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, cause macromolecular damage, and kill cancer cells. Electromagnetic fields can elevate intracellular ...
