Researchers have pioneered a tabletop magnetic pulse generator that allows researchers to collect real-time, high-resolution data in a system that couples high magnetic fields and low temperature with ...

A new discovery led by Princeton University researchers could upend our understanding of how electrons behave under extreme conditions due to the laws of quantum physics. The finding provides ...

The classic red-and-white horseshoe magnet may have worked for Wile E. Coyote, but it can be a little inflexible. Now researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) have created a more ...

Physicists have discovered stacked pancakes of 'liquid' magnetism that may account for the strange electronic behavior of some layered helical magnets. Physicists have discovered "stacked pancakes of ...

Microplastics, or tiny bits of plastic less than 5 millimeters long, accumulate in wastewater before filtering into larger bodies of water likes rivers and oceans. At age 18, Fionn Ferreira developed ...

A 20-ton superconducting magnet has completed its journey from California to New York. Why did the 40,000-pound superconducting magnet cross the country? The full answer to this twist on the old joke ...

Most magnets are predictable. Cool them down, and their tiny magnetic moments snap into place like disciplined soldiers. However, physicists have long suspected that, under the right conditions, ...
