One of Europe's highest distinctions in condensed matter physics has been awarded for a discovery that is reshaping our understanding of magnetism: The 2026 Europhysics Prize of the European Physical ...

In collaboration with international partners, researchers at the University of Stuttgart have experimentally demonstrated a previously unknown form of magnetism in atomically thin material layers. The ...

Most magnets have two poles: north and south, or positive and negative, in a familiar arrangement called a "dipole." But ...

Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals—a breakthrough that could significantly advance clean energy ...

Scientists have found a surprising way to potentially switch on an unusual form of magnetism in ruthenium dioxide, a material that normally appears nonmagnetic. When the material was made into an ...

Physicists have experimentally demonstrated an exotic form of magnetism in a metal that could be useful for realizing future data-storage devices. (Nanowerk News) In fridge magnets and other ...

Schematic illustration of the structure of an altermagnetic crystal: The unique symmetry of the electron distribution underlies the extraordinary properties of this newly discovered class of magnetic ...
