There are currently several superconducting materials used for design and fabrication of high-field magnets. 1 The most widely established of them—low-temperature superconductor NbTi—is the workhorse ...

A new study conducted at the University of Vienna, the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, and the Helmholtz Centers in Berlin and Dresden takes an important step in the ...

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry "spintronic" memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up ...

Controlling magnetic states in materials typically requires continuous power or only works in rare, specialized systems. Researchers developed a general theory showing how electric fields can ...

Researchers have demonstrated that electron orbitals, not just spin, can serve as a practical lever for controlling magnetism in solid-state devices. A series of recent experiments and theoretical ...

Chiral magnetism describes magnetic systems in which broken inversion symmetry gives rise to spin configurations with a fixed sense of rotation or handedness. Such materials host non-collinear spin ...

The third type of magnetism could prove the most useful of all—if researchers can identify the materials that exhibit it.

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing electric currents and magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A fundamental goal of ...

In the year 1820, a pivotal moment in science emerged when Danish physicist Hans Christian Ørsted made an astonishing ...

The origins of magnetic steel can be traced back to the 18 th century when scientists began experimenting with iron alloys. In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted's accidental discovery of electromagnetism ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) at ultrahigh magnetic fields in humans and animals is a uniquely important tool to advance the understanding of function and ...
