The research team has identified atacamite as a material with magnetocaloric properties. Natural crystals have long ...

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it encompasses both the intrinsic spin of particles and their orbital motion ...

According to Weijia Kuang, a geophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre, this correlation could help us to know the evolution of life and how it is relevant to the interior process of the ...

We treat the case where the magnetizations of F/sub 1/ and F/sub 2/ are perpendicular. The spin of injected conduction electrons precesses around the exchange field present in F/sub 2/. As a result, ...

In this study, we demonstrate a non-modulated triaxial magnetic field compensation method for spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) atomic magnetometers. We realize simultaneous compensation of the ...

Using high magnetic fields and a technique called time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect spectroscopy, the researchers looked at what happens inside the material just after it’s hit by an ...

A method is presented for controlling the field-directed self-assembly of colloidal magnetic core–shell nanoparticles into three-dimensional (3D) crystalline superstructures with nanoscale feature ...

The single-molecule magnet (SMM) is demonstrated here to transform conventional magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), a memory device used in present-day computers, into solar cells. For the first time, ...

As Earth’s magnetic field has risen, so have the conditions that helped complex life to thrive — a discovery that could aid the search for life on distant planets.
