Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed-matter physics that were long considered separate. The electronic and ...

Scientists have analyzed more than 40 years of astronomical data to uncover evidence that the sun's internal structure subtly ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

Nocturnal insects may use both Earth's magnetic field and visual cues to guide their migratory flight behaviors, according to recent findings. The research, published in eLife, presents compelling ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create ...

Scientists have decoded how heat flows in magnetic semiconductors, materials that are critical to emerging technologies such as spintronics, magnetic memory, and quantum devices. The discovery ...

New research reveals how the invasive fall armyworm uses a combination of the Earth's magnetic field and visual cues to navigate during night-time migration.

A newly mapped form of superconductivity in uranium ditelluride emerges only under extremely strong magnetic fields, defying long-held expectations about how superconductors behave.

At temperatures approaching absolute zero, most magnetic materials settle into tidy patterns. Their tiny magnetic moments, or ...

A new magnetic material breakthrough has been achieved by scientists, which can indirectly lead to the end of the current memory and storage crisis.

In most conventional semiconductors, thermal conductivity decreases as temperature rises because heat-carrying lattice vibrations—called phonons—scatter more frequently.

A routine magnet fishing trip takes a strange turn when the team pulls a handgun from the river within minutes of starting. But something about the weapon immediately feels unusual — its shape and ...
