The third type of magnetism could prove the most useful of all—if researchers can identify the materials that exhibit it.

The largest magnetic map of the universe ever produced—five times larger than all previous efforts combined—marks the ...

That’s why Marino’s team developed their quantum sensing system. It involves placing a suspected altermagnet next to a ...

Many members of the animal kingdom can detect the subtle undulations of Earth’s magnetic field. Relying on a hidden ...

Astronomers have uncovered compelling evidence that exoplanets beyond our solar system can generate magnetic fields, similar ...

For the first time, an international team of researchers has experimentally observed magnetic hopfions.

In 1820, Hans Christian Ørsted serendipitously discovered the link between electricity and magnetism during a classroom ...

Magnetism is a force of nature produced by moving electric charges. Sometimes these motions are microscopic and inside of a material known as magnets. Magnets, or the magnetic fields created by moving ...

Individual atoms with an odd number of electrons have a magnetic moment from the spin of the unpaired electron. Materials consisting of elements with an even number of electrons—such as carbon, ...
