Physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have experimentally confirmed a decades-old theory ...

Researchers from the Department of Physics and the University Institute of Materials at the University of Alicante (UA) and the Low Temperature and High Magnetic Field Laboratory at the Autonomous ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, working with international partners, have uncovered surprising behavior in a specially engineered crystal. Composed of tantalum ...

Adatoms are single atoms that get adsorbed onto the surface of a solid material and are known to hop randomly from one spot to another. In a recent study published in Nature Communications, a group of ...

Researchers show electrical control of quantum interference in atomic spins on surfaces using a scanning tunnelling microscope and modulated bias fields. The system studied consists of a single atom ...

(Nanowerk News) Materials with enhanced thermal conductivity are critical for the development of advanced devices to support applications in communications, clean energy and aerospace. But in order to ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered that a specially engineered tantalum-tungsten-selenium crystal spontaneously forms atomic clusters that generate local magnetism where none ...

Scientists at Delft University of Technology have managed to watch a single atomic nucleus flip its magnetic state in real time. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, they indirectly read the nucleus ...

Atomic vapour dynamics in strong magnetic fields represents a rapidly evolving research area that bridges fundamental physics and practical applications. By applying intense magnetic fields, subtle ...

Scientists have measured the subatomic intricacies of an exotic phenomenon first predicted more than 60 years ago. This so-called van Vleck magnetism is the key to harnessing the quantum quirks of ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...
