Hundreds of millions of years ago, Earth’s magnetic field behaved in a way that has long baffled scientists, showing wild and ...

Using a diamond needle tipped with a single electron, physicists have found seemingly impossible one-sided magnets swirling along the surface of hematite. The rules of physics (the ones we know of, ...

Although most of us simultaneously accept the premise that magnets are quite literally everywhere and that few people know how they work, a major problem with magnets today is that they tend to rely ...

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, US have used visible light to both image and manipulate the domains of a chiral antiferromagnet (AFM). By “painting” complex patterns onto ...

Creating strong permanent magnets without using so-called rare earth elements is an ongoing topic of research. An interesting contestant here are iron nitride magnets (α”-Fe 16 N 2), which have the ...
