Led by researchers at Lancaster University, the international team showed that subtle electronic effects can greatly amplify ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries ...

In a recently published article in IEEE Electron Devices Magazine the authors, I was one of them, looked at the impact of external magnetic fields on spin tunnel torque magnetic random-access memories ...

Scientists in Korea have engineered magnetic nanohelices that can control electron spin with extraordinary precision at room temperature. By combining structural chirality and magnetism, these ...

The sun is governed by a strict rhythm. The magnetic activity of the sun displays a cyclic variation, reaching a maximum approximately every eleven years. Two enormous plasma circulations, each in one ...

Electrons have been seen uniting into entities with fractions of electric charge, this time without a magnetic field coaxing them into it. In the 127 years since the electron was discovered, it has ...
