Libor Šmejkal has a fondness for the artwork of M. C. Escher, whose work was often inspired by mathematics. One of Šmejkal’s favourite pieces is Horseman, a striking picture that features an elaborate ...

Scientists have made a path-breaking discovery in strontium ruthenate -- with potential for new applications in quantum electronics. Scientists have made a path-breaking discovery in strontium ...

Doublon formation: In the moiré material produced at ETH Zurich, the electron spins are disordered if there is exactly one electron per lattice site (left). As soon as there are more electrons than ...

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 ...

Magnetism plays a crucial role in enabling various applications, ranging from memory storage devices to advanced medical imaging, energy-efficient electric motors, magnetic sensors, and emerging ...

A team of scientists has discovered the first robust example of a new type of magnet--one that holds promise for enhancing the performance of data storage technologies. This "singlet-based" magnet ...

Scientists have observed yet another type of magnetism for the first time within a lab-made crystal, promising to drive improvements in efficiency and speed in electronics as well as open new areas to ...

Since the discovery of superconductivity in Sr 2 RuO 4 in 1994, hundreds of studies have been published on this compound, which have suggested that Sr 2 RuO 4 is a very special system with unique ...
