This restless state, known as a quantum spin liquid, could unlock new kinds of particles and serve as a foundation for ...

Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...

Diana Parno’s head swam when she first stepped inside the enormous, metallic vessel of the experiment KATRIN. Within the house-sized, oblong structure, everything was symmetrical, clean and blindingly ...

In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...

Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same ...

Magnon frequency combs may make it possible to link and interact with a wide range of physical systems, opening new pathways ...

Dr Liam O’Brien from the University of Liverpool’s Department of Physics has been awarded a £2.1 million Engineering and ...

Developing a quantum magnetism library: Group leader Wei Li. (Courtesy: Wei Li) Quantum spin liquid magnets are materials that cannot arrange their magnetic moments, or spins, in a regular, stable ...

When magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners reach the end of their lifetime, hospitals have to deal with a large piece of electronic waste, stuffed with potentially dangerous parts. Unless a ...
