A novel method to manipulate the inner structure of cells connects several scientific fields and could represent a ...

Frustrated quantum spin chains are one-dimensional systems in which competing interactions between adjacent and next-nearest-neighbour spins inhibit the establishment of conventional magnetic order.

A research team from southern university of science and technology (SUSTech) has uncovered a new way that quantum matter can change its state: a weak magnetic field triggers a transition from a glassy ...

For decades, cobalt has served as a benchmark ferromagnet. Its crystal structure and magnetic properties have been extensively documented. However, the new findings show that cobalt hosts a rich ...

Research in the lab of UC Santa Barbara materials professor Stephen Wilson is focused on understanding the fundamental physics behind unusual states of matter and developing materials that can host ...

There is a big problem with quantum technology—it's tiny. The distinctive properties that exist at the subatomic scale ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered that a specially engineered tantalum-tungsten-selenium crystal spontaneously forms atomic clusters that generate local magnetism where none ...

Researchers have observed exotic fractional states at low magnetic field in twisted bilayer graphene for the first time. Exotic quantum particles and phenomena are like the world's most daring elite ...

A protein in birds' eyes is sensitive to magnetic fields, which may help explain how they navigate across the planet. Reading time 4 minutes Many birds have a sixth sense. No, not seeing dead people: ...
