S cientists have found that it’s possible to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field ...

Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...

In a first, physicists have directly seen Hofstadter’s butterfly—a long-sought-after fractal in the quantum realm ...

In a world chasing cleaner energy, a group of physicists may have uncovered a surprising new way to make power: by tapping ...

Scientists have developed a tiny flower-shaped structure that’s made of a nickel-iron alloy to concentrate and locally ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometres in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance magnetic fields. The size of the effect can be controlled by varying the ...

A simple lab mistake revealed the elusive quantum butterfly, confirming a 50-year-old theory in an unexpected graphene ...

Drugs and other treatments can be quite effective at killing cancer cells, yet many fall short as they struggle to penetrate ...

Our experimental system is a photoemission electron microscope, so magnetic fields deflect the electrons and make the experiments difficult,' says Valencia. 'The maximum magnetic field we can normally ...
