Scientists at the University of Manchester have discovered that placing magnetic films on atomically thin molybdenum ...

Since their relatively recent appearance on the commercial scene, rare-earth magnets have made quite a splash in the public imagination. The amount of magnetic energy packed into these tiny, shiny ...

For years, scientists have been trying to replicate the concept of nuclear fusion — the phenomenon that keeps the Sun and other stars alive — and turn it into a working reactor on Earth that can ...

Physicists in China have uncovered new evidence that chiral phonons and magnons can interact strongly inside magnetic crystals. Using neutron spectroscopy, a team led by Song Bao at Nanjing University ...

Technical success can be initiated by a dramatic breakthrough or innovation, but it can also be the result of conscientious design with careful attention to execution details. We rely on both for ...

In joint research with The University of Tokyo (UTokyo) and Nagoya University, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) developed a new material "thermoelectric permanent magnet" exhibiting ...

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 ...
