Magnetism

U.S. government scientists have developed a new phase of matter dubbed 'half ice, half fire,' which unites opposing electron spins in a unique magnet.

Scientists have found an elusive third form of magnetism that could help solve a longstanding puzzle about superconductors.

Voyager 2's 1986 flyby of Uranus, the main source of our knowledge of the icy planet, could have come at the same time as a weird plasma burst from the sun.

The largest-ever black hole jets ever seen hint that these cosmic monsters may play an even more significant role in shaping galaxies than previously thought.

"As the magma cooled to form what is today the world's solid outer crust, magnetism was locked into minerals containing iron, such as magnetite."

Scientists want to replace electrons with so-called 'nanobubbles' — or skyrmions — to store data more densely and efficiently in advanced memory components that would replace RAM and flash storage.

Researchers have found an elemental physical interaction between light and magnetism that might lead to the next generation of computing memory.

The reason for copper's unique properties comes down to the configuration of its electrons.

Earth is the only rocky body in the inner solar system with strong magnetic poles. But where do these poles come from, and what do they do?
