But in atoms with unpaired electrons in their outer shells, there’s nothing to cancel out the magnetic moments, which means these elements are magnetic. These elements tend to come from two ...

A new approach developed by Boston College physics researchers creates synthetic layered magnets with a unprecedented level of control over their magnetic properties The magnetic properties of a ...

But as parts of molecules, they can be used to construct magnetic materials for future components. "In other words, we try to make ordinary chemical elements do things we never thought they could ...
