New research shows how compact, no-insulation HTS magnets could bring 40T+ NMR spectroscopy to local university labs.

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

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

The findings confirm a theory first proposed 16 years ago by University of California, Berkeley theoretical astrophysicist Dan Kasen. Kasen and his colleagues hypothesized that at least some ...

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

The Japanese-German project aims to control invisible antiferromagnets with light and make advanced computers 1,000 times ...

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

As electronic and energy devices continue to shrink, traditional materials increasingly struggle with instability and loss of functionality at nanoscale dimensions.

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers ...

A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin ...
