It is green, blue green, and emerald green, brittle, glassy, and magnetic, much to the surprise of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Unlike the two known types of ...

Scientists have observed yet another type of magnetism for the first time within a lab-made crystal, promising to drive improvements in efficiency and speed in electronics as well as open new areas to ...

There is now a new addition to the magnetic family: thanks to experiments at the Swiss Light Source SLS, researchers have proved the existence of altermagnetism. The experimental discovery of this new ...

For many years, physics studies focused on two main types of magnetism, namely ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. The first type entails the alignment of electron spins in the same direction, ...

it produces its own magnetic field the magnetic field cannot be turned on and off – it is there all the time Bar magnets and horseshoe magnets are examples of permanent magnets. The iron filings in ...
