In-plane magnetic fields are responsible for inducing anomalous Hall effect in certain films, report researchers. By studying how these fields change electronic structures, the team discovered a large ...

In a metal like copper, however, the outer electrons swim around freely and are shared by all the atoms. That’s why ...

A research group at The University of Tokyo has discovered a new principle by which helical chiral molecules acquire spin ...

Researchers have developed a new experiment capable of monitoring the magnetic properties of superconductors at very fast speeds. Superconductivity is a fascinating phenomenon, which allows a material ...

Today's computers store information in magnetic hard drives, keeping files safe even when the device is powered off. But to ...

Researchers in China have shown that applying strain to a composite material using an electric field induces a large and reversible caloric effect. This novel way of enhancing the caloric effect ...

At a Thursday lecture event, Benjamin Weiss, a professor of Earth and planetary sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

Scientists have discovered that a weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field is expanding, raising concerns about potential impacts on satellites and space technology.

The Hall effect is a fundamental phenomenon in material science. It occurs when a material carrying an electric current is exposed to a magnetic field, producing a voltage perpendicular to both the ...
