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

A mysterious magnetic property of subatomic particles called muons hints that new fundamental particles may be lurking undiscovered. In a painstakingly precise experiment, muons’ gyrations within a ...

Strange things happen to materials when you peel them down, layer by layer, from thick chunks all the way to sheets just an ...

Magnets are essential tools that help scientists explore the deepest mysteries of physics, materials, and energy. While everyday magnets feel powerful, they are far behind the massive machines built ...

Physicists confirmed the full two-dimensional six-state clock model in atomically thin nickel phosphorus trisulfide, ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of magnetism. Experiments show that an artificially produced material becomes magnetic through a mechanism that hasn’t been seen before. The most ...

A subtle twist between atomically thin magnetic layers can generate unexpectedly large and complex spin structures.

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will ...

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 ...
