With copper-substituted lead apatite below room temperature, Chinese researchers observe diamagnetic dc magnetization under magnetic field of 25 Oe with remarkable bifurcation between ...

Electrons inherently carry both spin and orbital angular momentum (i.e., properties that help to understand the rotating motions and behavior of particles). While some physicists and engineers have ...

Do the twist: schematic of the Einstein–de Haas experiment showing the mirror, solenoid and ferromagnetic cylinder. (Courtesy: Jasper Olbrich/CC BY-SA 3.0) Albert Einstein is famous as a theoretical ...

Researchers have observed directly and for the first time magnetoacoustic waves (sound-driven spin waves), which are considered as potential information carriers for novel computation schemes. These ...

Free electron X-ray lasers deliver intense ultrashort pulses of x-rays, which can be used to image nanometer-scale objects in a single shot. When the x-ray wavelength is tuned to an electronic ...

A long-standing explanation for magnetoresistance may be incomplete. New evidence suggests a universal interfacial mechanism ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Spin flips: physicists have magnetized water by spinning it at high speeds. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Inna Bigun) Physicists in the US have shown that rotating matter at high speeds can magnetize atomic ...

Students from Sydney Grammar School recreated the drug Daraprim ®, also referred to as pyrimethamine. This news was extensively reported † in December 2016. The students produced the drug by following ...

Tests of glass samples gathered on Apollo missions show magnetization may result from impacts of objects like meteors, not as a result of magnetization from the presence of a magnetic shield. In 2024, ...
