All quarks and leptons – such as electrons and muons – have a magnetic moment due to their intrinsic angular momentum or “spin”. Quantum theory dictates that the magnetic moment is related to the spin ...

Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

Magnetic materials have become indispensable to various technologies that support our modern society, such as data storage ...

UC Riverside has received a Collaborative Research and Training Award of nearly $4 million from the UC National Laboratory Fees Research Program to explore how antiferromagnetic spintronics can be ...

Liquid crystal is a state of matter that exhibits properties of both liquid and solid. It can flow like a liquid, while its constituent molecules are aligned as in a solid. Liquid crystal is ...
