A team led by University at Buffalo physicists has found a mathematical solution that shows how a frustrated quantum magnet ...

The Hall effect has been an important tool in physics for more than a century. In 1879, Edwin Hall discovered that when a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to a material carrying an electric ...

Researchers have overturned a century-old physics rule about magnetic field detection. They engineered a custom quantum material to trigger the Hall effect sideways. This breakthrough allows a single ...

An atomic force microscopy scan of one of the experimental devices. (Carnegie Mellon University) Non-physicists might hear of ...

A material thought to be nonmagnetic may reveal a hidden magnetic state when thinned to just a few atomic layers and placed ...

Researchers at the University of Twente in the Netherlands have built a vertical quantum ...

Magnetic reconnection is a process that occurs when the magnetic fields of a conductive plasma quickly rearrange and release ...

APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE VELOCITY OF THE EARTH'S ROTATION.—Prof. A. Foppl, of the Munich Technical High School, has devised a new gyroscopic apparatus for measuring the angular velocity of the ...

One of the most enduring mysteries of particle physics may be finally resolved, two new studies suggest. The oddities of muons, subatomic particles that are relatives of electrons, are starting to ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...
