A magnetic crystal that was thought to behave like a quantum system, CeMgAl11O19, revealed something even stranger: a new ...

Collaboration to Deliver Superconducting Magnets up to 30 Tesla Through this partnership with the MagLab, Quantum ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

A cobalt-based compound that cools itself to fractions of a degree above absolute zero through magnetic field manipulation could offer a practical alternative to helium-3-dependent refrigeration ...

The bizarre properties of discrete time crystals could be harnessed to detect extremely subtle oscillations of magnetic ...

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” ...

Spintronics—a technology that harnesses the electron's magnetic quantum states to carry information—could pave the way for a new generation of ultra-energy-efficient electronics. Yet a major challenge ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In interesting research, insights from ordinary supermarket grapes led researchers to boost quantum sensor performance. The study ...

We’re probably all familiar with the Hall Effect, at least to the extent that it can be used to make solid-state sensors for magnetic fields. It’s a cool bit of applied physics, but there are other ...

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.
