The entry of quantum computers into society is currently hindered by their sensitivity to disturbances in the environment. Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, and Aalto ...

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

I have a confession: I'm obsessed with magnets. We rely on magnets every day, but seldom give them a second thought. There are magnets in your credit card, your cellphone, your car, microwave oven and ...

Reaching out into the cosmos with invisible tendrils, magnetism is simultaneously otherwordly and mundane. These forces can pin a photo to your fridge or even billow off Earth’s poles to combat solar ...

Researchers at the University of Osaka have developed a quantum mechanical model for concentrated organic radical solutions ...

Step into a world so tiny, it defies imagination -- the nanoscale. Picture a single strand of hair, now shrink it a million times. You've arrived. Here, atoms and molecules are the architects of ...

All the magnets you have ever interacted with, such as the tchotchkes stuck to your refrigerator door, are magnetic for the same reason. But what if there were another, stranger way to make a material ...
