A team of researchers has managed to generate and detect spin currents in graphene without using any external magnetic fields for the very first time, successfully addressing a long-standing challenge ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Most magnets are predictable. Cool them down, and their tiny magnetic moments snap into place like disciplined soldiers. However, ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could reliably tackle various computational problems that cannot be solved by classical computers. These ...

Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...

A novel magnetic material with an extraordinary electronic structure might allow for the production of smaller and more efficient computer chips in the future: the p-wave magnet. Researchers from ...

Physicists have discovered a much faster approach to create a pattern of spins in a magnet. This 'shortcut' opens a new chapter in topology research. Interestingly, this discovery also offers an ...

A supercooled microscopic ferromagnet proves the existence of gyroscopic magnetic behaviour that has been long sought by ...

Due to the spinning, an electron behaves as an elementary magnet, called a "spin." The symmetry of electron orbital motion determines the direction of their spins, which can be thought of as a small ...
