At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can emerge ...

In most everyday materials, such as copper, silver and silicon, the behavior of electrons is relatively predictable. In ...

A new study illustrates how substrates affect electronic interactions in 2D metal-organic frameworks. With electronic properties tuneable by electrical charge, mechanical strain, and hybridization, ...

"Their work suggests that electronic topological nodes not only play a role in stabilizing static magnetic orders, but more broadly they can be at play in the generation of magnetic fluctuations. A ...

Physicists have published an array of experimental evidence showing that the ordered magnetic arrangement of electrons in crystals of iron-germanium plays an integral role in bringing about an ordered ...

In a new study, an international group of researchers has found that chiral phonons can create orbital current without needing magnetic elements—in part because chiral phonons have their own magnetic ...

(Nanowerk News) With the help of data from the Advanced Light Source (ALS), researchers found that small changes in how electron spins interact with each other can make a big difference in the ...

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 ...
