Magnetic domains can take on a wide range of structures. In certain soft magnetic materials, they form complex zig-zag ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can emerge ...

A non-reciprocal phase transition to a many-body, time-dependent phase is proposed to emerge in driven layered ferromagnets. (Nanowerk News) A theoretical framework predicts the emergence of ...

Precisely tuning the spacing between iron oxide nanoparticles optimizes their magnetic interactions to enhance MRI contrast, offering a simpler path to better imaging agents. (Nanowerk News) Magnetic ...

The sun continuously blasts charged, magnetic field-carrying particles, or plasma, in all directions. This solar wind ...

The rapid increase in electric vehicle adoption in recent years has highlighted a crucial issue: the energy conversion ...

A theoretical framework predicts the emergence of non-reciprocal interactions that effectively violate Newton’s third law in solids using light, report researchers from Japan. They demonstrate that by ...
