The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All the magnets you have ever interacted with, such as the tchotchkes stuck to your refrigerator door, are magnetic for the same reason.

Researchers have discovered a new type of magnetism in 2D materials that can help store data. The team led by researchers from the University of Stuttgart experimentally demonstrated the previously ...

The fundamental magnetic phases are defined by the specific spontaneous arrangements of magnetic moments -- or electron spins -- and of atoms that carry the moments in crystals. Ferromagnets are the ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of magnetism. Experiments show that an artificially produced material becomes magnetic through a mechanism that hasn’t been seen before. The most ...

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 ...

Magnetism is usually taught as a story of straight lines, with field arrows marching neatly from north to south. In a lab at Florida State University, that picture has just been shattered by a new ...

In the moiré material produced at ETH, the electron spins are disordered if there is exactly one electron per lattice site (left). As soon as there are more electrons than lattice sites (right) and ...

For the first time, scientists have imaged an entirely new form of magnetism called altermagnetism. The researchers used cutting-edge x-ray techniques to visualize and fine-tune this novel magnetic ...
