Scientists have long used Gaussian beams to study how light interacts with matter. These beams resemble plane waves and rely ...

During solar minimum, the sun's magnetic field is close to a dipole, with one north pole and one south pole, similar to Earth's magnetic field. But as we shift toward solar maximum, "the sun's ...

The magnetic response of a materials is largely determined by the magnetic dipole moment associated with the intrinsic angular momentum, or spin, of its electrons. A material’s response to an ...

By subjecting a compound through a series of carbon nanotubes, scientists can compress it to the point of breaking down and ...

Recent findings reveal phosphorene nanoribbons exhibit intrinsic magnetic and semiconducting properties, paving the way for ...

An international research project has used nanotube compression to transform the underlying chemistry and physics of a ...
